The newest issue of "Südosteuropa" offers the following reads:

Christina Griessler (Budapest) analyses the so-called 'Berlin-Process', initiated by Germany in 2014 in order to enhance the dormant EU enlargement process and to encourage the EU-aspirant states in the so-called Western Balkans to continue pursuing the political and economic reforms that are a precondition for their accession to the European Union.

Vladan Vukliš (Banjaluka) writes from the perspective of an archival director and focuses on the difficult situation regarding the source materials of socialist Yugoslavia, and in particular sources pertaining to labour history.

Ljiljana Radonić (Wien) compares the history politics with regard to the Second World War and the Holocaust as conducted by the Polish and Hungarian governing parties PiS and Fidesz. In Poland, she analyzes the exhibitions at the Museum of the Warsaw Uprising, the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk, the Museum of the History of the Polish Jews in Warsaw and the envisaged Warsaw Ghetto Museum; in Budapest, her focus is on the House of Terror, the Holocaust Memorial Center, and the planned House of Fates.

Romaine Farquet's (Neuchâtel / Bern) contribution is based on interviews with Albanian-speaking migrants in Switzerland who engaged politically in Kosovo during the 1990s. She explores how the former activists in the diaspora relate to their homeland today: they either continue to view themselves as a part of the imagined 'Albanian nation' in Kosovo, or they resort to alternative identity schemes focused on their lives in Switzerland.

In the Open Section Elise Feiersinger presents an initiative of the Austrian Society for Architecture (ÖGFA) who has made the archive of the late architectural historian Iris Meder accessible to the public.
