Dr. Marina Kostić Šulejić, IIPE Research Fellow, participated at the Arms Control Symposium, which is held every year at RACVIAC – Center for Security Cooperation. Marina spoke on the topic “New Challenges, New Measures: Contemplating the Future Arms Control in the Western Balkans and Europe”. She highlighted the nature of the challenges that emerging and disruptive technologies pose to the sub-regional arms control regime and presented possible measures for the sub-regional arms control system to continue to contribute to stability in the region. Also, Marina spoke about the general crisis of arms control in Europe and presented the possibility of creating a comprehensive arms control agreement for Europe and opening of the Nuclear and Conventional Weapons Talks that would comprise all relevant stakeholders for maintenance of security in Europe.
The symposium brings together prominent experts in the field of arms control, and this year, experts and heads of units dealing with multilateralism and arms control from Italy, Hungary, France, the Netherlands, Montenegro, the Czech Republic, the USA, and the OSCE gave their presentations.
