HYBRID WARFARE – Executive Certificate, May 16, 2026
Organizer: Institute for National and International Security (INIS), https://intelligence-security.rs/
Applications via email: office@intelligence-security.rs by May 4, 2026.
Training Program: Total duration – 1 day / 8 modules, from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
The Institute for National and International Security (INIS) offers a specialized training program focused on current security challenges in the context of hybrid warfare.
The current security landscape is characterized by a shift from traditional military conflicts to complex, multifaceted actions that combine political, informational, economic, intelligence, cyber, and psychological tools of power. This type of conflict, known as hybrid warfare, has become the dominant form of strategic rivalry in the 21st-century international system.
Hybrid actions particularly affect states with open information spaces, political fragmentation, and geopolitical exposure, such as those in the Western Balkans. Examples of coordinated disinformation campaigns, political influence through media and social networks, the use of energy, migration, identity issues, and social divisions demonstrate that modern security threats go beyond the traditional scope of military and police security.
In this context, the demand for specialized training of experts who understand:
✓ the logic and structure of hybrid operations,
✓ the role of intelligence and information dimensions of conflict,
✓ vulnerabilities of modern societies and institutions,
✓ methods of detection, analysis, and response to hybrid threats.
Conceptually, the program is founded on the Security Science approach, which considers security as an integrated scientific field that examines security issues, threats, and protection measures across all societal domains. In this context, hybrid warfare represents a modern form of high-intensity security threat that calls for an interdisciplinary response.
