Summary/Abstract |
ANALYSIS OF THE HISTORY of the Russian policy with regard to South Slavic peoples generally boils down to considering Russian-Serbian relations, often unjustifiably leaving out the Slovenians, Croats, Macedonians and others. However, all these peoples have also strived to establish close relations with us and use Russian authority and influence in the struggle for the interests of their own, including, admittedly, in conflicts with each other. For many centuries, Russia has been developing contacts with these peoples, and their cultures kept intertwining.

Summary/Abstract |
This essay is a case study of the Right to the City movement in Croatia, one of the largest citizens’ struggles in the country’s recent history. Firstly, we argue that the movement managed to avoid the supposedly unavoidable Michels’s iron law of oligarchy. Outlining the movement’s trajectory in five phases, we show how it always prioritised social impact over institutional self-preservation. Secondly, we analyse movement outcomes as viewed by activists. In interviews with activists we establish features of evolving activist citizenship as well as ways in which participation in the movement influenced the forging of alliances among organisations and initiatives.

Summary/Abstract |
NATO's "Open-Door" policy continues to generate much enthusiasm from aspiring countries across eastern and southern Europe. This paper examines Croatia's efforts to meet NATO's membership standards and assesses its reforms and policy changes across three issue areas, including civil-military relations, military modernization, and recent foreign policy directions. Our research suggests that Croatia has made significant improvements in moving toward NATO's political and military standards. While it still faces reform challenges due to its historical legacy under Franjo Tudjman and low public approval ratings for NATO, recent policy developments still indicate that NATO's willingness to expand produces a powerful incentive for ongoing reform.

Summary/Abstract |
THE HISTORY OF RUSSIA is closely connected with the history of the Balkans. Our country has for centuries been considered a defender and protector of Slavic peoples in the Balkans, connected to them by shared cultural, linguistic, spiritual, and religious values, as well as by shared identity and civilizational roots. At the same time, Russia has never brought confrontation to the region, pursuing its policy in a purely constructive and friendly key, to the best of its ability countering the Westerners' course toward dragging the Balkans into the policy of dividing lines by promoting and inculcating anti-Russian elements.

Summary/Abstract |
Increasing the energy efficiency not only requires the improvement of current technologies, but also advancement of and more coherent institutional governance. This paper captures the major structural and organisational elements of institutional governance in place for promoting energy efficiency. Looking at Croatia – one of the most successful cases of energy efficiency programming of the past decade – the paper zooms in on governance coordination (metagovernance) between actors from different sectors and operating at multiple levels. By showcasing the positive implications of the programme, the authors contribute to the debate concerned with identifying better institutional frameworks to attain sustainable development. The programme showed effective governance through vertical and horizontal coordination among institutions and stakeholders resulting in simultaneous social and economic development and improved energy efficiency in public buildings. Through the case of Croatia, this study identifies how metagovernance has supported coordination among actors aiming to create sustainable development in general and how metagovernance functions in energy efficiency related projects, in particular. The paper also sheds light on communication frameworks of governance coordination and institutional constraints lying at the heart of the vagueness of sustainable development. It also discusses private sector involvement to achieve better institutional framework to attain sustainable development.
