Sbunker recently participated in the "Kosovo-Serbia Visiting Program," organized by Heartefact Fund & supported by National Endowment for Democracy.
During the visit, we connected with individuals & organizations in Belgrade & Novi Sad dedicated to promoting peace, freedom, & democracy. 
The journey began in Belgrade with "Peščanik – Ako vam je dobro, onda ništa" where Sbunker explored the possibility of exchanging articles and republishing them in both Serbian and Albanian languages.
Following this, Sbunker engaged with " YIHR Srbija" to address the challenges posed by the rise of far-right extremism and nationalism to democratic values.
On the subsequent day, discussions at "Forum Civil Peace Service – Serbia" centered on the diminishing civic space in Serbia and the wider Western Balkans.
Afterward, Sbunker met with " CRTA" to talk about challenges to media freedom and democracy.
Sbunker also conferred with "European Policy Centre/Centar za evropske politike – CEP" on strategies to bolster civil society and democratic institutions, identifying potential areas for future collaboration.
The itinerary concluded with "Grupa 484" focusing on safeguarding minority rights and supporting refugees.
Transitioning to Novi Sad, Sbunker met with “Youth Center CK13 – Crna kuća" gaining insights into their efforts to advance social justice.
Further discussions with "NDNV" delved into the importance of media freedom and upholding high ethical standards in journalism.
The visit concluded with Sbunker's visit at the "Novi Sad School for Journalism - Novosadska novinarska škola" engaging in discussions about combating disinformation & misinformation.
