19:15h / Panel discussion One region, the same fight
Authoritarian tendencies, through the accumulation of power in the hands of a small group of people, the fall in citizens` participation in public affairs, the narrowing of media freedom and the privatization of public resources are common neuralgic points of all the countries of the former Yugoslavia. The countries that are now called the region of Southeast Europe.
On this panel we want to find the answers to the following questions:
Is it possible to find a link between local movements and organizations that, each in its own community and independently of the other, work very similar, if not the same thing, trying to restore the captured cities and states to those to whom they belong – citizens?
Are those the new political forces and newspapers of a different region?
Participants are the representatives of political organizations and initiatives from Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Slovenia, Albania, Kosovo, Serbia, and North Macedonia.
