OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Open Balkans and/or European integration: An answer or a diversion?
Online webinar
The Open Balkan initiative is a regional integration agreement between countries of the Western Balkans, presented as a reaction to the slowing down of the process of European Integration for the six aspiring countries: Albania, Serbia, North Macedonia and Montenegro – confirmed as candidates for membership – and Bosnia Herzegovina and Kosovo – potential candidates. Three of them – Albania, Serbia and North Macedonia – have signed agreements to open their national borders to each other’s citizens and products from 1 January 2023, without restrictions. These three countries believe that this economic zone will both prepare them for membership of the European Union and also offer an active way forward in response to the delay in obtaining EU membership. This panel brings together key protagonists to look at the issues in greater depth.
