BiH’s future lies in NATO membership, as the most effective response to all expansionist agendas in the region, whether Greater Serbian, Croatian, Albanian, Hungarian, or Bulgarian. Each of these projects has been directed against BiH. The two US-sponsored agreements safeguard the integrity of the country, a status that is not expected to change. Any state contemplating territorial expansion should reflect on the fate of Slobodan Milošević and Franjo Tuđman, and the failure of their policies in BiH.

Necessary factual information that fuels public perception to accurately reflect the will of the people in elections is being threatened like never before. We're facing wave after wave of tsunamis of AI and human-generated disinformation. Only by adopting innovative approaches that acknowledge basic human motivations can we hope to effectively combat this existential threat to democracy.

The larger context of Algayerova’s key-note remarks aligns closely with the theme of the OSCE’s SHDM: civil society’s indispensable role in the protection and promotion of international human rights law. Free media is, after all, one of civil society’s most potent tools. It gives voice to the marginalized, shines light in dark places, and forces accountability on systems that would otherwise operate in secrecy. Without it, the very scaffolding of human rights protection begins to falter.

Thus, 20 years later, the largest planetary security mechanism - the OSCE, has shown persistence in dealing with some aspects of demography; eg. trafficking as segment of migrations. One may say; a peripheral and nomadic, fragmented and sporadic, and decoupling fashion of addressing the problem will never bring betterment. Situation of today is a pure consequences of the way we then formulated our challenges, determined our conclusions, and our overall course of action. We still have our chance.

What is at stake is not merely the next government or presidency, but the very capacity of Romanian society to reconstruct the meaning of democracy beyond its formal shell. This will require lucidity, civic commitment, a refusal of resignation, and, above all, the courage to say the emperor has no clothes – even when the stage is lavish and the applause appears unanimous.

While some continue to insist that the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu is linked to the upcoming presidential elections—given that he is one of President Erdoğan’s most vocal critics and strongest challengers—a broader perspective paints a different picture. İmamoğlu has held office since 2019 and has faced seven separate investigations, yet was never detained until now. This raises a legitimate question: Why did the arrest happen at this particular time?

The fight against crime and corruption is crucial – and it can only truly begin when the government confronts these issues within its own ranks. Serbia has initiated this fight, but the process must now be intensified– both vertically and horizontally. The European perspective continues to be a central pillar of Serbia’s political agenda.

From this perspective, it remains to be seen how long it takes for Presidents Trump and Putin to reach a truce agreement for the “War” in Ukraine due to their different national interests. The two sides now sit at a negotiation table because they share the common goal to put an end to the “War” but may find it difficult to reconcile their differences. Yet, more importantly, they would agree to have a protracted negotiation...

Despite the current multidimensional disruptions, all these challenges can and shall ultimately - if it is to be reasonably peaceful - only be met and overcome by international discourse, by mutual balancing and reconciliation of interests, by willingness for revitalized and genuine omnilateralism (or similar multilateralism of previous diction). Ultimately, this offers hope and prospects for emancipation and prosperity - possibly and ideally for all chess pieces at the (grand) global chessboard.

The challenges to mainstream media are messier as the challengers do not necessarily fill the gaps left by a poorly performing mainstream media — they instead often create fake or ‘unreal’ media, deep fakes, memes, or engage in outright propaganda or perpetuate mistruths. Not all new media do this, but there is no doubt that lots of new media are up for sale, up for political harnessing, up for attention and celebritization of their platforms and content.

The future of European security depends on recognizing that cooperative security is the only sustainable approach to preventing conflict. The OSCE provides a ready-made framework for de-escalation, but it has remained underutilized in favour of NATO threat-based security architecture. The result has been perpetual security dilemmas, particularly in Eastern Europe, where NATO expansion has triggered counter-reactions from Russia.
