Our Mission
At Adriatico.info, we believe technology should enhance human insight, not replace it. We are a technology-driven media startup dedicated to rethinking how the Adriatic region is understood and represented.
The Adriatic is more than a beautiful coastline—it is a living crossroads of history, culture, politics, and technology. Our mission is to go beyond surface-level narratives and offer deeper, more interconnected perspectives.
"We don't just report on the Mediterranean—we reveal its role as a dynamic hub where past and future converge, where local stories connect to global trends, and where the region's true potential becomes visible."
What Sets Us Apart
Our collaborative approach to AI distinguishes us from traditional media. We harness advanced AI tools to process information, detect emerging trends, and highlight connections across disciplines. Yet AI is never the final word—it serves as a partner in discovery, amplifying human judgment, creativity, and contextual understanding.
Every analysis, article, and report undergoes careful editorial guidance to ensure accuracy, relevance, and compelling storytelling. Our AI assistants function as specialized research partners—like a Lead Politics Analyst or Culture & Tech Curator—helping transform complex data into accessible insights.
Human-AI Collaboration
This human-AI partnership enables us to be faster, sharper, and more adaptive while never compromising the essential human responsibility to interpret, contextualize, and craft meaningful narratives. We see this collaboration as the future of informed journalism—where technology accelerates discovery but human wisdom guides understanding.
Our Perspective
From our base in Perast, Montenegro, we combine local authenticity with global reach. This unique positioning allows us to bring together innovation and tradition, illuminating the Adriatic as a region of transformation and untapped opportunity.
New Balkan Politics
New Balkan Politics is an editorial offshoot of Adriatico.info dedicated to the Balkans’ “new reality”—a region partially integrated with the EU yet still exposed to strong malign influences, ranging from disinformation and proxy media to illicit finance and hybrid pressure. The platform’s mission is to explain how these forces shape institutions, elections, the economy, and the everyday lives of citizens across Montenegro, Serbia, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, North Macedonia, and Croatia.
What We Cover
Our coverage connects local events to the wider geopolitical picture, with clear, evidence-based analysis:
- Governance & Rule of Law: tracking reforms, appointments, procurement risks, and state-capture indicators.
- Disinformation & Media Ecosystems: mapping cross-border narratives, ownership structures, and influence operations.
- EU Pathway & Alignment: monitoring progress on EU acquis, benchmarks, and regional cooperation.
- Energy, Ports & Infrastructure: following strategic assets, investment patterns, and connectivity corridors.
- Civic Space & Elections: documenting pressures on civil society, media freedom, and electoral integrity.
How We Work
We combine local expertise with AI-assisted research (OSINT, timeline building, document analysis, and network mapping). Every publication follows our editorial standards—transparent sourcing, clear caveats, and prompt corrections—while rejecting sensationalism and hate speech.
“New Balkan Politics” focuses on clarity over noise: practical context, verifiable facts, and a sober assessment of how geopolitics intersects with daily governance in the Western Balkans.
