Discussing on global threats and security in Southeast Europe, the speakers of the first panel discussion agreed that Russia still opposes for East-European countries to join NATO, and Ukraine crisis was to show that Russia means seriously about that. ‘The international relations today show that big countries try to keep or take a new position in the world order, and every big force sees the international relations from a different perspective’, stated Prof. Vukadinović. Prof. Lidija Čehulić Vukadinović PhD stated that relations between Europe and United States will be active and will exist until there are joint issues to be solved as well as common security challenges and threats.
