Balkan Initiative
Recent tragic events in the
Balkans - ethnic bloodshed and
ensuing war crimes trials -
provide dramatic evidence of
the need to bolster moral, intellectual,
and spiritual leadership in
the vacuum created by the breakup
of the Soviet Union. The Balkan
Initiative of EICEE is an ambitious
effort to put in place the means
to achieve this goal. This project
is one of the Educational Initiative
for Central and Eastern Europe's
top priorities.
Preliminary steps taken
- Hiring and training of
Croatian leadership team
- Research into sites to
open a center of operations
- Implementation of region
specific curriculum
 "The
work of the Educational Initiative
is extremely important; it directly
clarifies things in peoples's
mind. If I were a wealthy person
in the West thinking where to
put my money for a noble cause
this would be on the top of
my list.
I have participated in
several EICEE conferences and
I think people of good will
and people concerned with the
future of mankind should be
giving this a close look."
Stephen Bartulica, Diplomat,
Croation Foreign Ministry, former
head speechwriter for the Minister
of Foreign Affairs
