Adnan Cerimagic, senior analyst at ESI, contributed to a training seminar on “EU approximation and integration”organised by the German foreign office as part of its international diplomatic training programme. The event was led by ambassador (ret.) Christine Althauser.

The three-week seminar brought together 16 young diplomats from the Western Balkans, Moldova, Ukraine, and Turkey. It focused on key issues such as rule of law, collective security, governance, and regional cooperation. Adnan delivered a lecture on migration and brain drain, building on ESI’s previous contribution to the programme, which had received very positive feedback.
