Last monday a workshop on Cyber Diplomacy took place in Sarajevo as part of the Cyber Balkans project CILC is implementing with e-Governance Academy & Národní úřad pro kybernetickou a informační bezpečnost (NUKIB). Under the moderation of Emina Merdan from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Hans van den Berg (together with the European External Action Service) the program covered the position of the EEAS and EU member states on cyber diplomacy, an introduction to confidence building measures by the OSCE, progress made by Bosnia Herzegovina in the field, and the developments and norms in cyberspace through the United Nations open-ended working groups. Discussions by experts and participants focussed on the #alignment with the #EU and its #acquis in relation to #cybersecurity and diplomacy. Another point of discussion was the increase of #disinformation campaigns in combination with #cyberattacks in the region. Special thanks to the excellent experts, Yoeri van Haaften, Szilvia Tóth, Sanja C., and Katherine Prizeman, who gave insights and answered the many questions put forward by the participants from institutions of Bosnia Herzegovina on cyber security and diplomacy.
