Welcome by HEDVIG MORVAI, Executive Director, European Fund for the Balkans and FRANZ

KARL PRÜLLER, Programme Director, ERSTE Stiftung After five years of continuous work in the Western Balkans and the European Union, we strongly believe that the most valuable resources of the European Fund for the Balkans are the people who connect with us through active engagement in our Programmes. The EFB Community Conference is for all of you who showed an interest in working with us and contributing to developing our network!

Opening speech by IVO JOSIPOVIĆ, President of the Republic of Croatia

“European Future of the Western Balkans” Croatia was chosen to host the first ever EFB Community Conference because of its positive example of successful accession negotiations with the EU. With a target date of 1 July 2013 for joining the EU, Croatia has set the example

for the rest of the Western Balkan countries. By organising this event in Croatia, the EFB will acknowledge all the really positive changes that have happened here so far, and give its support to the work that still needs to be done. Croatia is also showing its support to the rest of the WB countries in their effort to introduce all the political, economic and social changes that are needed to become members of the EU. In order to show his dedication and support in bringing the rest of the WB closer to the European Union, President of Croatia, Mr. Ivo Josipovic, will officially open the Conference on Thursday, 11 October 2012.

18:30 – 19:30 Key Note Speech

09:00 – 10:30 Plenary Session I

“Illusions or Realities – New Strategies for the Western Balkans?” NEVEN MIMICA, Deputy Prime Minister for Home, Foreign and European Affairs, Croatia (tbc) OLIVER LUKSIC, Member of Parliament, Germany (tbc) SONJA LICHT, President, Belgrade Fund for Political Excellence, Serbia MILAN NIC, Senior Fellow, the Central European Policy Initiative (CEPI), a think tank established by the Slovak Atlantic Commission Moderator: TIM JUDAH, The Economist The European Union’s current enlargement process is taking place against widespread financial and economic crises affecting both the EU and the enlargement countries themselves. The crisis is additionally enhancing the scepticism about the Union’s future inside many of the EU member states and abroad. Once the crisis is over, the question remains if the EU will keep the Western Balkans on its enlargement agenda in the near future. What is an illusion and what reality for the Western Balkans in changing European reality? Are we going in the direction of strengthening ties with one another on our way to the EU, losing the European perspective, or resurrecting ethnic nationalisms in the region? How sustainable is the overall EU enlargement strategy and can it successfully complete the goal of the entire WB enlargement? What does the Croatian membership in the EU in the near future bring to the rest of the region, and how can it help in building new strategies for the Western Balkans?

11:00 – 12:30 Plenary Session II

“Future Forecast – Europe we wish for?” RAINER MUNZ, Academic Director of Erste School of Banking and Finance (Erste Group) and Senior Fellow at the Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWI), Austria

ZOLTÁN POGÁTSA, Institute for European Studies/Faculty of Economics, University of Western Hungar ROMANA VLAHUTIN, President’s Envoy for South East Europe, Office of the President of Croatia Moderator: FABRICE DE KERCHOVE, Project Manager, King Baudouin Foundation The second plenary sessions will focus on topics addressing Southeast Europe and the EU in relation to future global challenges. Our panellists will present their forecasts through three interconnected perspectives – those of Europe, the EU, and Croatia, as the next EU member state. What are the biggest issues that Europe has to deal with in order to provide a safe future for its citizens? How is the EU dealing with the problems of demographic aging, shrinking population, economic crisis and poverty? Is the EU membership still promising peace, stability, prosperity, freedom and solidarity or has the EU lost its attractiveness? What can the WB learn from Croatia’s EU path in addressing these contemporary challenges? Does the future of the EU look more promising from inside or outside?

“New ways of creating policy - Bridging the gap between researchers and policy makers” SONJA STOJANOVIC, Director, Belgrade Centre for Security Policy, Belgrade EOIN YOUNG, Programme Manager, International Center for Policy Advocacy, Berlin-Budapest KRISTOF BENDER, Vice Chairman, European Stability Initiative, Vienna Moderator: NICOLO RUSSO PEREZ, Program Manager, Compagnia di San Paolo This panel is focused on theoretical and practical contributions in building connections between evidence based research and policy for more effective policy decisions. EFB Community Network is bringing together researchers and decision makers from throughout the region offering them a unique opportunity to network among hundred colleagues, learn from each other and create a foundation for future joint projects. Participants will have an opportunity to share their experiences about the effectiveness of this link between researchers and policy makers in the WB and Europe. Evidence based research should inform policy and policy makers should contribute to understanding how the policy process works so the research could have a meaningful impact. In order to achieve those goals EFB Community Conference is opening a channel of communication with our respective speakers, participants and entire EFB online community, which should help create ideas for working more closely together!

Plenary Session IV

“Driven by Optimism – Engines of Change in the Balkans“ ERION VELIAJ, MJAFT Founding Member, Albania “We deem that free elections are the core and basis of any healthy democracy in the world. They represent accountability through the power of the vote and a hope and promise of effective and honest governance, given that ultimately it is – and it must be – the people that decide who represents their wishes, expectations and dreams.”

BOJAN BOŠKOVIĆ, General Manager, EXIT Festival, Serbia Bojan Boskovic: “We had a clear vision of removing the dictatorship in 2000. This is how we started”…”My greatest achievement was the “ability to be over-productive over the course of 15 years, to create a lot of projects, meet crazy people, employ friends and be an inspiration; To improve things; Change things; To make a revolution; To make a movement.”

BESA LUCI, Editor in Chief, Kosovo 2.0, Kosovo Through Kosovo 2.0, Besa gives voice to Kosovo’s silenced, disenfranchised majority: its young people. Kosovo 2.0 combines the traditional and new media to create a self-sustaining platform for youth to become active participants in their communities. An independent, youth-led media outlet, the initiative publishes a print magazine and manages a robust online presence through which youth post blogs, vlogs, and photo essays. www.kosovotwopointzero.com

Many innovations brought by technology have significant effects in the way we live our everyday lives, organize ourselves, share information and react to events that are happening in our societies. The internet allows those who are connected not only to be receivers but constant generators of information as well. By turning us from passive receivers of information to active producers, sharers and creators of content, the internet enabled us to create a more transparent and democratic world. How is internet used and/or abused for political purposes? How social networks and new media enabled political and social changes throughout the world and are we personally engaged in this global change of behaviour? And yes, does all the virtual signing, sharing, following, liking and clicking have a potential to grow into a big change? These are some of the issues that will be discussed during upcoming parallel sessions.
