The EU–Balkan Observatory Highlights 2024–2025 brings together concise studies exploring political, social, and cultural transformations across Southeast Europe. Edited by Jody Jensen and Ivana Stepanović and published by the Institute of Advanced Studies Kőszeg, the volume reinterprets the Balkans as an observatory of Europe’s broader change. The contributions examine EU integration, institutional reform, civic resilience, digital activism, youth protest, cultural identity, and climate policy, highlighting how the region generates new forms of solidarity and governance.
