Dr. Đorđe Andelkovic is a deeply embedded regional expert on the political and ethnic fault lines of the Western Balkans, offering unmatched insight into Roma exclusion, ethnic policing, and post-conflict marginalization. With over 70 legal reports accepted in asylum cases across the UK, US, and Canada, he is regarded for his on-the-ground accuracy, unfiltered documentation, and ability to clarify the mechanics of civic repression and legal denial. His work is informed by years of direct field research in politically tense municipalities such as Sandžak, Mitrovica, and southern Montenegro, where he has investigated blood feud threats, police complicity, and the functional collapse of state protection for minorities. He also brings critical awareness of the subtle dynamics of surveillance, NGO harassment, and state-narrative manipulation, particularly in regions where youth dissent and draft evasion intersect with ethnic profiling. His field-grounded expertise, combined with fluency across Balkan linguistic landscapes and long-term engagement with both legal and academic actors, makes him an indispensable resource for complex Balkan-origin asylum and deportation cases.
over two decades of field-based expertise in ethnic conflict,
Roma exclusion, political harassment, and post-conflict
governance across the Western Balkans. His work spans
Serbia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia,
with a deep focus on statelessness, draft evasion, clan violence,
and state-led repression. Since 2012, he has authored over 70
expert witness reports for legal proceedings in the UK, US, and
Canada, offering nuanced insights into internal relocation risks,
ethnic profiling, and systemic legal denial for minorities and
activists. Combining human rights documentation with a
grassroots understanding of regional power dynamics, Dr.
Đorđe brings rare credibility to cases involving fragile
statehood, post-conflict discrimination, and minority expulsion.
