Creating strategic platforms. The necessity of strategic action. These are some of the main conclusions of the second session titled: “Geopolitical 360 on information threats – European learned lessons shared for the Western Balkans,” which was held within the framework of the international conference in Skopje organized by the Metamorphosis Foundation, writes Portalb.mk.Martha Turnbull, COI Director of the Hybrid Center of Excellence in Finland, said in her speech that in the last decade the center she represents has conducted numerous campaigns to combat disinformation.“We see different actors sharing fake news, some of them coming from abroad, some from within countries. Russia still remains the main actor in the Euro-Atlantic region, but we also see actors from China. We see an increase in threats. We have cases where the Russians are creating centers in the country and then acting.

We have created a knowledge base about the tactics of the Russians and what tactics they use in the region. We do regular information exchange about negative actors. We have developed a good basis for adversary narratives. Since 2020, we have started to focus not only on the activities of the Russians, but also on the Chinese in the region. Sharing information is key. The goals of the adversaries are similar for every country. The idea is to coordinate to counter them,” assessed Svetoka.According to Katarina Klingova, Senior Research Fellow at GLOBSEC, Slovakia, building resistance is a process, something that needs to be facilitated by both the state and civil society.“Non-governmental organizations can do the most work, they are m
