Party Responses to the EU in the Western Balkans

Marko Stojić is Lecturer in the Department of International Relations and European Studies at Metropolitan University in Prague, Czech Republic. He holds a PhD in Contemporary European Studies from the University of Sussex. His research interests focus on the study of European integration, political parties in the Western Balkans and party-based Euroscepticism. He has published in Czech Journal of Political Science and Perspectives on European Politics and Society.

“Stojić’s book stands out because of the care and diligence with which the study has been conducted. … This is best illustrated by the dense and valuable tables found throughout the book. As straightforward as they look, they are in fact very rich and do an excellent job combining Stojić’s own findings with existing data from a broad variety of sources.” (Niké Wentholt, Südosteuropa, Iss (2), 2018)
