Josip Juratović

Josip Juratović is a seasoned politician and member of the Bundestag, representing the Social Democratic Party (SPD) of Germany. With over 20 years of experience in German politics, he has been a vocal advocate for democracy and stability in Europe, particularly in light of the rising influence of autocratic parties. He has drawn parallels between the current geopolitical climate in Europe and the tensions in the former Yugoslavia, emphasizing the importance of strong Franco-German relations for the stability of the EU. Juratović recently made headlines discussing the significant challenges facing the SPD, including the party's declining support and the potential rise of conservative and far-right parties in the upcoming elections. Despite not seeking re-election, he remains committed to addressing issues in the Balkans and supporting the younger generation's movement for change in the region.
