The BSC Young Leaders programme is being organised for the third year in a row. While the first edition gathered only 15 participants, this year the programme brings together over 30 young professionals. The programme extends beyond the official conference dates; the participants have already met today, on November 16th, while the Belgrade Security Conference begins the following day.

Over 30 young professionals from Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Albania, and Bosnia and Herzegovina gathered in Belgrade to attend the Young Leaders programme of the Belgrade Security Conference.

On Sunday, November 16th, participants got to know each other as well as the conference programme for the upcoming days. During the next three days, until November 19th, they will have the opportunity to visit the Museum of Yugoslavia, talk about the role of women in regional dialogue, transatlantic relations, and the EU enlargement. Moreover, they will be introduced to the basics of digital safety through a workshop and will discuss the role of youth in security and the future of the Western Balkans. In addition to the activities designed specifically for them, participants will also attend selected sessions of the Belgrade Security Conference that address these topics, allowing them to gain deeper insights and connect their discussions with the broader regional and international context.
