During the last few years PAX has focused on memorialization and shared narratives in the Western Balkans (Kosovo, Serbia, BiH and Croatia). Inclusive Memory Initiatives are increasingly important for the Western Balkans, as they directly challenge the dominant ethno-nationalist narratives that the political elites continue to promote.
PAX supported a number of such inclusive memory initiatives. Specific attention has been given to identify which inclusive memory initiatives exist in the different countries, how they overlap, how they cooperate and what pitfalls they experience.
