Author:<\/strong> Tena Prelec<\/p>\n

This paper examines the UAE\u2019s relations with the three countries of the Western Balkans where they have engaged predominantly since 2010: Montenegro, Serbia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Notable milestones in the countries\u2019 engagement are discussed, examining the relationships with local actors and impact on the population. In the second section, the paper outlines the activity of the UAE across political, economic, social and security domains, before drawing out relevant emerging trends in the conclusion.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Global Transitions Series<\/a>\u00a0looks at fragmentations in the global order and how these impact peace and transition settlements. It explores why and how different third-party actors \u2013 state, intergovernmental, and non-governmental \u2013 intervene in conflicts, and how they see themselves contributing to reduction of conflict and risks of conflict relapse. The series critically assesses the growth and diversification of global and regional responses to contemporary conflicts. It also asks how local actors are navigating this multiplicity of mediators and peacebuilders and how this is shaping conflict outcomes and post-conflict governance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
