He leads the project “Swiss contribution to the constitutional reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina”. His articles have appeared in Representation, Swiss Political Science Review, International Journal on Multicultural Societies.
During his stay at the EUI, Nenad will work on direct democracy and its centripetal impact in a multilingual society. Further, he will explore the concept of equal opportunities in the electoral process.
