The discussion paper will be presented at the Cetinje Philological Days (17-19th of September, 2025), an international scientific conference held biennially at the Faculty of Montenegrin Language and Literature (FCJK) in Cetinje, Montenegro, since 2017. The paper will be discussed during a panel on the 18th of September at noon with the participation of e.g. Boban Batricevich (Montenegro) and Elira Luli (Albania). The title of the panel will be the same as the paper and we are expecting to have around 50 participants from all over the region. https://wbnet.org/panel-discussion-first-approach-to-identifying-the-common-challenges-to-democracy-in-the-western-balkans-and-eastern-partnership-countries/

5th annual DATAPAC Junior FootGolf Cup

The visit will revolve around a vibrant two-day youth event that blends sport, education, and cross-border cooperation. Taking place in Slovakia, the program is built around an established international junior footgolf tournament that emphasizes youth empowerment, personal development, and healthy lifestyle choices. The first day is dedicated to interactive learning and personal growth. Participants will engage in hands-on sessions covering topics such as nutrition, movement, mental wellbeing, and the social impact of sport. Activities are designed to be accessible and relevant, encouraging young people to reflect on their habits and values. Thoughtful discussion formats and gamified elements will help them connect with peers from other countries. The second day features an international footgolf competition, fostering not just athletic skills but also cultural understanding. Youth will represent their countries on the field, while forming friendships and exchanging ideas off it. The tournament is open, inclusive, and rooted in principles of fair play and mutual respect. Throughout the visit, local youth and clubs ensure strong community involvement. Adults support the program as mentors, coordinators, and chaperones—managing logistics, guiding learning, and ensuring safety. Some also lead sessions or provide expertise, helping connect content with real-life experience. https://www.facebook.com/footgolf.senec
