These were some of the […]
The European future of the Western Balkans depends on joint efforts and the desire to strengthen European unity
“Sustainable alternative for European integration of the Western Balkans does not exist, and anything else would be merely a foreign policy adventure that would be disastrous for stability, sustainable development, and even peace in the Western Balkans,” said the President of the Executive Board of the Academy for Development of Democracy (ADD) at the conference […]
Too many integration frameworks, and too little integration
A stable, European, and civic government in Montenegro can fulfill all the reforms from the European Union (EU) accession process within four years, but it is questionable whether Montenegro will get such a government,” said former Minister of European Affairs and a member of BIEPAG, Jovana Marović, during the panel “Effects and Results of the […]
EU enlargement has become a reality, candidate countries to protect themselves from malign influences

Our Long-Term Goals
Long-term goals of ADD correspond to SDGs, but also go beyond them and reach even further
Regonal Approach
It has become evident over the decades following the last armed conflict in the region that none of the countries can solve these issues separately, and this is why we are doing something completely different – adopting the regional agenda.
Regonal Solutions to Separate State Problems
Everyone involved
All the solutions that need to be made have to be product of participation of great number of factors and include all of the stakeholders, rather than result of the agreement of political elites in each of the countries.
Strength
Our strength lies in the fact that we are all active politicians and decision-makers in our countries who can implement policies and solutions that are going to be developed.
