is glad to invite you to its 2009 international conference
The long-lasting '89
The Balkans and Caucasus
between expectations and disenchantment
after the fall of the Berlin Wall

13th-14th November, Trento (Italy)

Live web-streaming at www.osservatoriobal cani.org

The conference "The long-lasting '89" is devoted to discussing the post-communist transitions in the Balkans and the Caucasus, the expectations stirred by the end of the Cold War, the following disappointments, the ongoing processes of change, and the opportunities for relaunching a common European political project.

The first day will reflect on the long transitions in the two regions, national fragmentations, the return of war into Europe, and the process of European integration, through presentations by, among others: VESNA BOJICIC-DZELILOVIC, professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science; GHIA NODIA, professor at the Ilia Chavchavadze State University (Tbilisi); TANJA FAJON, Member of the European Parliament, and the EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus PETER SEMNEBY.

The second day will explore the relationships of solidarity and cooperation between communities and territories formerly divided by the Iron Curtain, drawing on the specific case of cooperation between Trentino and Pec/Peja region in Kosovo.

The event is organised in cooperation with Tavolo Trentino con il Kossovo, the Autonomous Region Trentino - South Tirol and the Autonomous Province of Trento.
