Follow the current, not the noise.

The Adriatic is the publishing arm of the Institute for Strategic Solutions (ISR), a Ljubljana-based consultancy that has worked with businesses across the region since 2011. What began as Strategic Foresight - a bulletin tracking shifts in politics and markets - has grown into a publication for readers who want to understand the currents shaping the Western Balkans and the world beyond.

New work appears online throughout the year. Our annual print edition provides essential reading inside a single volume worth keeping.

Write for us

We publish essays, reportage, and criticism on politics, business, and culture. A piece on port logistics in Koper might sit alongside an essay on American decline or a profile of a Croatian architect. What connects the work is clarity and a perspective rooted in this region.

We welcome work that wouldn't find a home elsewhere - too specific for global publications, too ambitious for local press.

Completed drafts of 500+ words. We read everything.
