Aleksandar \u0160ljuka is a Project Manager at <\/span>New Social Initiative (NSI)<\/span><\/i>, a civil society organization based in North Mitrovica, working with Kosovo Serb and other minority communities on advocacy, monitoring, and trust-building. \u0160ljuka holds a Master degree in International Affairs from the University of Belgrade and is currently pursuing a PhD in International and European Studies as an OSCE scholar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n

His research project examines how the broader impasse in Kosovo\u2013Serbia relations shapes the everyday economic conditions in these two communities, using a parallel comparative design. Rather than focusing on direct trade between northern Kosovo and the Pre\u0161evo Valley, the project analyzes how similar structural constraints, such as administrative barriers, financial limitations, regulatory ambiguity, and institutional uncertainty, manifest separately in each context, and how economic actors in each area have developed similar adaptive responses.<\/p>\n\n

Key words: <\/strong>international relations, economy<\/p>\n\n
