The figure shows the estimated UN General Assembly voting positions (commonly referred to as 'ideal points') for countries in the Adriatic region, with the United States, United Kingdom, and Russia included as external reference points. Higher values indicate voting patterns that more closely align with the United States, while lower values reflect greater distance from its positions.
Across the period, Western countries consistently occupy the upper end of the scale, whereas Russia is positioned at the opposite end. The Adriatic-region states cluster between these poles, with some variation over time, illustrating their intermediate and often shifting patterns of geopolitical alignment over time.
The underlying estimates follow the ideal-point methodology developed by Bailey, Strezhnev, and Voeten (2017) and use the expanded, resolution-level UNGA voting data from Fjelstul, Hug, and Kilby (2025).
