      <image:title>Blog/News - Vienna Peace and Security Talks 2025: Türkiye - An Ambitious Regional and Global Actor - This event on 13 October 2025 after personal invitation was a full-day workshop bringing together scholar, diplomats, NGO-representatives, and thinktanks such as SEIM Analytics, to discuss the role of Türkiye in Europe’s security architecture and in regional conflicts, among other in light of the war in Ukraine. The event was covered by the Chatham House Rule, so SEIM Analytics will not bring any detailed report from the closed full day-sessions. Instead, this blog report and analysis will outline a few summarizing impressions from the open-for-public evening event The U.S.–Türkiye–EU Triangle: Between Tensions and Cooperation? and outline the general impressions of SEIM Analytics on the position of Türkiye and its role on the Western Balkans and with regard to Ukraine. The event was organized by the Karl-Renner-Institute, Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), and International Institute for Peace (IIP) in Vienna.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog/News - Vienna War Museum conference commentary: “The Bosniak and OHR attempt at delegitimization of Republika Srpska will also mean the end of Bosnia” - The use of the term genocide is much debated and is highly politicized. In the German court system, there has been a much more expansive understanding of genocide vs. the more restrictive usage in international courts. This is visible in two cases from the Bosnian civil war, that of Jorgić v. Germany (2007) (ECHR Judgment), and as discussed by Hvenekilde Seim (2022: 203) with regard to the verdict from 15 December 1999 (6 St 1/99) in Obere Bayerisches Landesgericht (Bavarian Higher Regional Court) v. Djuradj Kuslić, a former police chief in Vrbanjci in Kotor Varoš municipality which was sentenced to life in prison for genocide [!?] in conjunction with six counts of murder and illegal possession of a firearm.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog/News - Pro-EU Win in Moldova’s 2025 Parliamentary Election, but Democracy Loses? - Moldova is a key focus of attention for SEIM Analytics after numerous professional engagements. SEIM was serving as a long-term election observer for OSCE/ODIHR in Bălți, Moldova’s second biggest city, in the parliamentary elections in 2014 and again in the local elections in 2023, including as short-term observer in Rîșcani District in 2021 for the parliamentary election.

      <image:title>Blog/News - Jesenice in the Slovenian Alps - FIELD REPORT: With temperature records being set in neighboring Corinthia and Styria in early July 2025 it was maybe not the optimal date chosen to hike the Karavanke mountain ridge on the Slovene-Austrian border and explore Jesenice town and region, but the magnificence of this mountainous part of Slovenia and the micro history it presents to its visitors was worth the efforts and the sweat. S EIM Analytics is a consultancy on Southeast and Eastern Europe. It regularly explores and researches this multifaceted and culturally rich region, and sets as a goal to aid and advice clients about it. Through this field report, interested readers and travellers are invited into this part of Europe. As a microhistorian, the opportunity was seized upon to see what two days of hiking could offer of perspectives to learn about the region. This travel/sports reportage offers practical information both for fellow mountaineers and those interested in the region’s touristic potential. It also gives a view on the processes of post-communist transition of this industrial region.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog/News - EU and the Western Balkans - Reflections on EU’s slow accession process after lectures at Graz University:</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a visiting fellow to Graz University and CSEES (Centre for Southeast European Studies), Dr. Seim followed two key lectures on EU and the Western Balkans. A takeaway from the lecture of Zorana Radovanović on 7 January 2025 is that public opinion in Serbia is split on EU. This emotional confusion has numerous sources, one of the key issues are media framing, according to Radovanović. While assessing the domestic media as equally split, Radovanović pinpointed to the need for EU to apply better rhetorical tactics, for instance to better inform about EU being the biggest donor in Serbia in comparison to other foreign factors (e.g. China or Russia). In her lecture on 21 January 2025, Jovana Marović (who has background as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of European Affairs of the Government of Montenegro in 2022), explored EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the tensions between national sovereignty and CFSP. Marović explained the ambivalent attempts of Western Balkan countries to fall in line with EUs foreign policy, e.g., towards Russia and Ukraine.
