First National Seminar of SPS BiH – Strengthening Democratic Culture and Political Dialogue

1. 4. 2026 | Enter: Change, PR

From 26 to 29 March 2026, the first National Seminar of the School of Political Studies of the Council of Europe in Bosnia and Herzegovina (SPS BiH) took place at Vlašić, bringing together a newly selected generation of young political leaders and professionals from across the country. The seminar, entitled “Strengthening Democratic Culture and Political Dialogue in Bosnia and Herzegovina”, focused on enhancing democratic standards, fostering political dialogue, and supporting the development of future leaders.

Throughout the four-day programme, participants engaged with distinguished speakers from political, academic, and media spheres, addressing key challenges and opportunities for democratic development in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

During the seminar, participants:

✔️ discussed the challenges of political compromise and reform processes in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
✔️ explored the role of political and social dialogue in building a democratic society,
✔️ examined the relationship between political stability and economic development,
✔️ addressed questions of European and Euro-Atlantic integration,
✔️ analysed the role of populism in political communication and its impact on societal polarization.

The programme featured contributions from high-level experts and practitioners, including former ministers, diplomats, members of parliament, and media representatives, who provided valuable insights and encouraged interactive discussions with participants.

In addition to formal sessions, the seminar created a dynamic platform for exchange among participants from diverse political, social, and geographical backgrounds, promoting mutual understanding and strengthening networks among emerging leaders.

The first National Seminar marked an important step in the implementation of the 2026 programme, laying the foundation for further activities aimed at reinforcing democratic culture and political dialogue in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The activities under the ENTER: CHANGE project are supported by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of Republic of Slovenia through the Slovenian Aid programme.
