Our research will be specifically focused on conflicts, with a particular accent on the confidence-building measures (trust-building measures) in the process of conflict resolution, as an essential element of any sustainable conflict settlement process. This research will explore the content of the plans on the resolution of the conflict of 2001 in the Republic of Macedonia, in light of the latest theoretical information on insurgency and counter-insurgency as determined by the Strategy on Counterinsurgency of the United States and NATO’s Strategy on Counter-Insurgency. In that context, we will present the Plan on confidence-building measures in resolving the 2001 conflict in the Republic of Macedonia.
