The Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies (CEAS) is an independent socio-liberal think-tank organization founded in 2007 in Belgrade, Serbia.

The motto which the CEAS follows in its work is “Progress, Determination, Influence”.

They stand for:

- Adoption of the principle of the precedence of individual over collective rights, without disregard for the rights which individuals can only achieve through collective action;
- Strengthening of the secular state principle and promotion of a faithless understanding of the world;
- Development and preservation of a more open, freer, more prosperous and more cooperative international order founded on smart globalization.

Their advocacy and research work is mostly focused on:

- Contemporary Serbian, Regional and Trans-Atlantic Foreign and Security Policies;
- Full Serbian membership in EU and NATO;
- Russian and other non-democratic influences on the stabilization and democratization of Western Balkans;
- Importance of connection between security sector reform and transitional justice in the post-conflict Balkans;
- Promotion of Responsibility to Protect, the international humanitarian and security doctrine;
- Overcoming of the democratic deficits of multiculturalism.

CEAS is the only member from the Region of South-Eastern Europe to have full membership in ICRtoP- the International Coalition for the Responsibility to Protect. The coalition brings together non-governmental organizations from all over the world to collectively strengthen the normative consensus for the doctrine of Responsibility to Protect (RtoP), with the aim of better understanding this principle, pushing for the strengthened capacities of the international community to prevent and halt genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity, and to mobilize the non-governmental sector to push for action to save lives in RtoP country-specific situations.

CEAS is a member of the Coalition for RECOM – a coalition comprising more than 1,800 organizations from  Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia, advocating for the founding of the Regional Commission for establishing facts about war crimes and other serious violations of human rights committed on the territory of the former Yugoslavia between 1991 and 2001. 

CEAS is among the most visible think-tanks in the Balkans, with a wide media, institutional and social outreach. CEAS has been quoted in leading prominent liberal media such as The New York Times, Washington Post, Politico, etc. In December 2016, CEAS Director Jelena Milic was elected as one of the POLITICO 28 Most influential People in the annual POLITICO 28 list of people who are shaping, shaking and stirring Europe.
