The learn@lunch event - "Balkan Views of the Multi-Polar World"

The learn@lunch event with the title "Balkan Views of the Multi-Polar World" gathered a large number of interested participants in Brussels on July 1, 2011. Organised in co-operation of the EFB and Gallup Europe, the discussion was opened with a short introduction by the Fund's Programme Manager Igor Bandovic. Gallup Europe Managing Director Robert Manchin presented the main findings of the 2010 Balkan Monitor survey related to the event's topic. The results were commented upon by two highly prolific experts on Balkan affairs: Dr Svetozar Rajak (Academic Director of LSE IDEAS) had looked at the historic dimension of Balkan affiliations with world powers before he made several observations regarding the poll's results. Dr Dejan Jovic brought rich experience from a long academic career and as the Chief Analyst to the President of the Republic of Croatia to assess the current state of the Balkans' views of the world.
