A record number of RAD alumni will take part – both as speakers and participants – in the 5th edition of the Belgrade Security Forum, premier security conference of South East Europe which takes place each fall in Belgrade’s Hyatt Regency hotel.
Belgrade Security Forum is a joint initiative of three organizations – Belgrade Fund for Political Excellence, European Movement in Serbia and Belgrade Centre for Security Policy, established in 2011.
This year alone, organizers expect close to 120 speakers and over 700 guests in three days the program lasts – starting with the traditional academic pre-event, over to four plenary panels (the future of OSCE; the issue of political Islam; conflict in Ukraine; and the need for critically re-assesing European model of governance) and as many as eleven (11) specific “break-out” sessions.
For a full listing of topics and speakers, see http://www.belgradeforum.org/agenda.html.
On behalf of the RAD, we are proud to announce that this year’s program will include four of RAD alumni, generations 2013, 2014 and 2015:

with at least ten of RAD alumni in the audience, specially invited on behalf of the Belgrade Fund for Political Excellence (BFPE) and BSF.
