The UK is at the forefront of international efforts to counter Russian influence in the Western Balkans. Through our programme funds we are helping strengthen the resilience of the region across areas such as cyber security, defence capacity building and countering disinformation, including through the recent deployment of a military counter-disinformation expert to support NATO HQ Sarajevo in countering false Russian narratives in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
