This year's speakers include:

Carla del Ponte, Chief Prosecutor, International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)
Stjepan Mesić, President of Croatia
Olli Rehn, EU Commissioner for Enlargement
Jean-Pierre Jouyet, French Secretary of State for European Affairs

Each year, participants in the Balkan Policy Summits include some 200 EU and national policymakers, government representatives, business leaders, NGO representatives, academia, civil society and members of the international press.
