My primary research focuses on international relations, politics, migration, international cooperation, security, and strategy, particularly in Southeast Europe. I research the relations between the countries in the region, as well as their position and dynamics in relation to the East and the West. Additionally, the influence of political and economic decisions on regional integration and migration flows. Nevertheless, I pay special attention to the role of education in social processes.
