almanac on security sector oversight in the Western Balkans

Different authors chose to present their main findings in different ways:
• Actor by actor (e.g. comparing oversight over different actors e.g. police, military,
intelligence, private security actors etc.). This approach was used in the chapters
drafted by Analytica on SSR in Macedonia and the Institute for Democracy and
Mediation for Albania.
• Comparatively, across all actors (e.g. oversight of security sector budgets is the most
problematic area of oversight throughout the observed security sector). This approach
was used in the case studies of SSR in Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Centre
for Security Studies, in Croatia by the Institute for International Relations, in Montenegro
by the Center for Democracy and Human Rights, as well as by the Belgrade
Centre for Security Policy and the Kosovar Centre for Security Studies for the study
of SSR in Serbia and Kosovo.
The study is based upon primary sources (such as laws, publications from parliament
and oversight bodies, government policy papers, and interviews where possible) and
secondary sources (such as scholarly books and articles and newspaper articles). Each
organization conducted at least one focus group meeting to verify main findings.
