This year’s gathering, under the heading “TURKEY AND SERBIA: Changing Political and Socio-Economic Dynamics in the Balkans” was held in the Ceremonial Hall of the University of Belgrade.
Initially organised in 2011 in the Macedonian capital of Skopje, under the slogan “Co-existence of Cultures in the Balkans”, the academic gatherings entitled International Balkan Annual Conferences (IBAC) aim to bring experts and prominent scientists together to assess the past and future of the Balkans from various perspectives, mainly historical, cultural, literary, administrative and economic, in order to diagnose problems and offer possible remedies, thereby contributing to peace and stability in the region.
