We are oriented towards future outcomes, focusing on situational and trend assessments. These assessments are carefully considered within the relevant regional or global context, and often benefit from our deep institutional memory and rich network of contacts from around the world. Our analyses isolate the real, but often overlooked or misreported significance of specific current events and trend
s for the region and sometimes, the world. We also increasingly focus on global issues connecting the region with the wider world. Balkanalysis.com publications include articles, interviews and briefings, which can be read freely, e-books and archived articles that can be purchased, and finally, special reports for private clients. The website is independent, objective and self-sustaining. It is thus not susceptible to any external forms of pressure or influence. Savvy readers will already know that most international media bodies devoted to the region were created and subsidized by various states and organizations eager to influence the region’s fate, from the early 1990s until today. Such media bodies thus live and die according to the interests and fortunes of their backers. On the other hand, the independent, objective and self-sustaining nature of the Balkanalysis.com website means that it cannot be influenced, pressured or otherwise interfered with by outside parties. This allows us to take a strategic and patient approach to research and publication. We thus do not publish op-ed or distasteful advocacy pieces. Most media today, hungry for reader comments and page views, publish articles aimed to execute an agenda or stir up emotions in a historically emotive and divided region.
