Sonja Stojanović Gajić is the Director of the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy, a leading Western Balkan security think tank. Having grown up during nineties as a youth activist in the war-affected Balkans, she got involved in security sector reforms as she realised that that sector is potentially the biggest spoiler of nascent peace and democratisation in the region she lives in. She has more than fifteen years of dealing with security sector reforms across the Balkan region, through research and engagement with governmental and non-governments actors across borders. She initiated Security Research Forum Belgrade-Pristina-Tirana that worked on decreasing security dilemma in Serbian-Albanian relations.
