One of the most prominent figures present at the conference was Prof. PhD. Steven Meyer (USA), former Deputy Director of the CIA Balkan Task Force (BTF) during the Bosnia and Herzegovina war (1992-1995).

"It was an honor for us to be partners in this conference. I believe it is a good starting point for future projects that we wish to carry out together with the Institute for Geopolitical Studies in Ljubljana, with whom our university has established a partnership," declared Rector Ramona Lile.

"This conference has opened the way for new discussions and future collaborations with the academic community. It is just a small step towards a better future. We would like to thank the university for its support and involvement, and we hope to return here, to Arad, to the university," stated the conference organizer, Prof. PhD. Bogdan Vukosavljevic.
