Centre for Security Studies - BiH

Founded in April 2001, Centre for Security Studies is a non-governmental and non-profit making organisation located in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. CSS is an independent research, educational and training organization dedicated to encouraging informed debate on security matters and promoting and sustaining democratic structures and processes in foreign and security policy in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as in the region of South-East Europe. CSS works to create safer environment and prevent a return to violent conflict. Bearing in mind the inter-connectivity of political and security issues, CSS is dedicated to aid and support the reform and restructuring process and to address key political and security issues that are of a concern throughout the entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the region as a whole. CSS recognizes that the creation of co-operation and trust on a national and regional level is imperative in order to create stability and security within the region, which will in turn provide the environment in which political, economic and systemic reform can succeed. Working towards our objectives, through various activities, it is envisaged that alongside the expertise of the international community, through co-operation with various organs and bodies of state, and with the knowledge and experience of engaged experts, CSS would endeavor to aid the reform and restructuring process and to address issues that are of concern throughout the entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the region as a whole.
