Summary/Abstract: The Western Balkans, a region with complex historical, political, and ethnic dynamics, presents unique security challenges for both regional actors and the broader European Union (EU). This paper examines the security environment in the Western Balkans, focusing on interethnic tensions, organized crime, political instability, and the impact of external actors. By analysing key issues and the influence of EU and NATO integration, the study provides insights into both current challenges and future strategies for achieving long-term stability.
