Dr Hoxhaj OBE discussed how the EU-facilitated Kosovo-Serbia dialogue process has stalled and Russia鈥檚 efforts to destabilise the Western Balkans to potentially start a new front in Europe to divert the attention of the NATO and EU members away from its war in Ukraine. Dr Hoxhaj OBE shared his research on EU policy towards the Western Balkans, with a particular focus on the EU enlargement and accession process with the Western Balkans, as well as what is causing the stalemate in the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue and preventing a long-term solution, and mutual statehood recognition.
