Combatting anti-EU discourses and misinformation in
NORTH MACEDONIA AND SERBIA

About
Given the complexity of today’s misinformation, which cannot be solved by fact-checking alone in a “post-truth” context, we aim to analyze how discourse is constructed and how a new discursive hegemony is emerging—one that produces anti-European effects without openly declaring anti-Europeanism, while leaving space for competing influences such as Russia, China, and narratives like the Open Balkans as an alleged alternative to EU accession.

Podcast
These podcasts explore how anti-EU narratives and misinformation shape public opinion in North Macedonia and Serbia. Through conversations with researchers, practitioners, and young voices, we unpack hidden influences, challenge false alternatives, and spotlight those working toward an informed, European future.

Publications
Our publications examine how anti-EU narratives and misinformation circulate in North Macedonia and Serbia. Through research reports, analyses, and policy insights, we uncover hidden influences, expose false alternatives, and offer clear recommendations to support an informed, democratic, and European-oriented public sphere.

Вашето мислење
Можете да споделите како дезинформациите и како анти-ЕУ наративите влијаеле на вашиот живот—и како сте одговориле. Личните приказни помагаат да се откријат вистинските предизвици, додека се истакнуваат практични решенија водени од заедницата, кои нѐ движат кон јасност, отпорност и иднина повеќе насочена кон Европа.
