Mission and vision

Public Policy Institute is committed to the development of peaceful, functional, democratic, and economically viable future of states and societies of the Western Balkans.

Fundamental presumptions for achieving such future we see in acceptance, modern interpretation and thoughtful implementation of classic and modern European political, economic, cultural, and social values, principles, and community organization.

Necessity of constant change and development of societies is inevitable. The Institute encourages the development of capacities of Western Balkans’ societies to understand the past, overcome challenges of the present and face a more stable future with the best possible level of readiness and certainty. Within this frame we have concentrated efforts and activities towards integrating and affirming the productive link between the potential of academic communities, politics, civil society, media, and the public.

The Institute represents a platform for action of different public, political and economic actors and groups. We cooperate with politically neutral experts from all over the Western Balkans, with several decades of experience in the area of media professionalization, political theory and practice, European and Trans-Atlantic integrations, security, human and minority rights, state administration, diplomacy, civil sector, science and culture.

We recognize education, in both classic and more flexible and modern sense, as the best mechanism for the progress of societies in which the Institute operates. Through the education of individuals and strengthening capacities of the public we wish to constantly inspire changes that will enable regional counties to become leaders in creating good public policies.

The Public Policy Institute operates through its offices in Podgorica, Belgrade and Ljubljana.
