When it comes to summer reading, most would choose light entertainment content, but for those interested in something deeper, we have an excellent recommendation.

“The Mirage of Truth: Complexities and Challenges of Disinformation in the Western Balkans” is a perfect read for those who want to learn more about the disinformation landscape in the region.

The publication covers topics such as: the capacities of governments to deal with disinformation, legislative venues for counter-disinformation tactics, the regulation of the digital space, adjustments to education curricula, and the possibilities and limitations of whole-of-society collaboration mechanisms.

You can view the publication here and it was published within the framework of the project Strengthening Societal Resilience and Countering Foreign Perpetrated Disinformation in WB6.

The section regarding the situation in North Macedonia was prepared by Bardhyl Jashari, Director of the Metamorphosis Foundation.

This publication is particularly recommended for future researchers and practitioners as it would encourage them to think about how disinformation affects the entire societal ecosystem, from security and foreign policy to governance, media, and education.
