Series

The International Crisis Group (ICG) is an independent, non-profit and non-governmental organization that seeks to prevent and resolve deadly conflicts in over 50 crisis-affected countries and territories across five continents. It pursues these ends by blending field-based analysis, practical policy prescriptions and high-level advocacy. The Crisis Group Europe Reports Series examines current conflicts in this part of the world and speculates on their possible impact on international relations.
