This book comprises contributions from the 22nd workshop of the Study Group “Regional Stability in South East Europe” of the PfP Consortium of Defense Academies and Security Studies Institutes taken place in 2011. Experts dealt with the following questions: First, do the remaining “impasses” in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sandžak, Southern Serbia, northern Kosovo and Macedonia – represent a serious threat for the overall process of peace-building in the region? Second, what are the lessons learned from models of inter-ethnic and religious coexistence in the post-war period? Third, is the tradition of tolerant Balkan Islam endangered by radical movements imported from abroad? Fourth, are there and what kind of links between challenges in balancing “majority” and “minority” rights in Southern Serbia, Kosovo and Macedonia exist?
