About the Book
The Balkan region features a proliferation of barriers to movement of people, goods and ideas, both among the countries that make it up and vis-à-vis the European Union
These stifle development, create frustration, slow regional cooperation and isolate it from the rest of Europe. Moving On: Overcoming Balkan Barriers to a European Future provides new insight into the existence and impact of such borders on a range of political, economic, social, cultural and environmental issues and opportunities.
The product of original research within the Balkan region and EU, its ten articles elucidate issues as diverse as criminal justice, environmental threats and sport and culture policy, as well as visa regimes, labor flows and the politics of transport.
Moving On: Overcoming Balkan Barriers to a European Future is the product of ten journalists selected from throughout Southeast Europe to participate in the 2007 programme of the Balkan Fellowship for Journalistic Excellence.
Initiated by the Robert Bosch Stiftung and Erste Foundation, in cooperation with the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network, BIRN, this programme responds with financial and professional support to the growing need in the region to foster quality reporting, encourage regional networking among journalists and advance balanced coverage on complex reform issues that are central to the region as well as to the European Union.
