Selected Areas of Engagement

Deep Expertise in a Volatile World

Trained in Moscow and Rome, positioned in the Western Balkans — where East and West meet, and where the real signals are easiest to read.

Aleksa Kostadinović is an independent geopolitical intelligence analyst and strategic advisor. He graduated with distinction from MGIMO (Moscow) and LUISS Guido Carli (Rome) — two of the most recognized institutions for diplomacy and international relations — giving him a perspective on both Russian strategic logic and European institutional thinking that is difficult to develop from a single vantage point.

Based in the Western Balkans, he works across EU sanctions policy, great power competition, hybrid warfare, organizational dynamics, and leadership transition analysis in Europe and Eurasia. He has previously worked within the Serbian diplomatic service and is currently retained for intelligence work serving institutional clients in the Gulf region.

The mandates he takes on typically involve questions with no clean public answer — sanctions exposure, institutional direction, leadership succession, strategic intent.

His work is used by investors, companies, and decision-makers who need clarity on situations that are still developing.
