Ahead is supporting a panel at the Sarajevo Security Conference, the leading security and foreign policy event in Southeast Europe, on “EU Membership and Transatlantic Alignment: A Strategic Path for Western Balkan Security.”
The panel extends a conversation that began at Ahead’s MSC 2026 Roundtable on constitutional change and social reconstruction in societies in transition, where panellist Alenka Antloga joined as a discussant.
In Sarajevo, she brings that same expertise in post-conflict constitutionalism and transitional justice to the debate on how EU accession and transatlantic alignment can anchor lasting security across the Western Balkans — one more example of how Ahead carries the relationships and insight it builds at Munich into the rooms where they matter next.
