LATO Interview Series #16: Tensions between Kosovo and Serbia
Show Notes

There was routine instability on the border between Kosovo and Serbia in the last month of the summer. Insider perspectives on the issues involving Serbia and Kosovo, the challenges and opportunities posed by outside causes, and how the European Union might voice them out are provided in our most recent interview. Many questions need to be addressed, including what impact nationalism, ethnic diversity, and NATO presence have on these tensions.

Listen to the podcast produced by the Latvian Transatlantic Organisation where Dr. Sandis Šrāders, an expert in foreign policy, interviews Emir Abrashi, the vice president of NUOVO and a researcher in foreign policy. A brief history of agreements, the ultimate goals of these talks between Kosovo and Serbia, and the key obstacles will all be covered in this episode.

The interview is part of a series developed in the context of the annual Rīga Conferences organized by the Latvian Transatlantic Organisation in cooperation with the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Latvia and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Latvia. The purpose of the series is to keep discussions alive in between consecutive conferences.
