Started in 2011 and facilitated by the EU, the Belgrade-Prishtina Dialogue is a legally-binding, top-down normalisation process. Currently, it is stalled, and  while leaders continue to heighten political tensions, they fail to recognise or address issues relevant to everyday life. Furthermore, heated rhetoric has more general consequences, including insecurity for marginalised groups, as well as women and youth.

The core message of both the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) and Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) agenda is that sustainable peace is impossible without women’s and youth leadership and meaningful participation. Both also call for increasing their involvement in decision-making and peace negotiations, making these agendas highly relevant in this context.
