In the framework of the RECAS Fellowship, Dr. Gentjan Skara, participated in a one-week residency at Moise Palace in Cres. The core activity during this stay is the “Project Surgeries” program, which consists of collective discussions on each Fellow’s paper or project.
This year’s Project Surgery Week took place from March 24th to 29th, fostering a collaborative approach that encourages the exchange of ideas and diverse perspectives, reflecting the multidisciplinary backgrounds of the Fellows.
Gentjan Skara presented its ongoing research project on “Competition law enforcement in Western Balkan Countries: Challenges from online giants”. During the presentation, Dr. Skara stated that the WBc national competition authorities lack the necessary human, financial, and technical resources to handle these kinds of cases.
Through the Regional Network of Centers for Advanced Studies (RECAS), the Fellowship fosters in-depth analysis of policy frameworks and action plans that shape civil society and political activism. By capturing transformative moments, RECAS empowers actors to drive meaningful change—building a more democratic and sustainable future for Southeast Europe and beyond.
