Country reports

This is an index page for the reports on the countries of interest to Re.ViCa team and its International Advisory Committee.

The concept of a "country" is a complex and sometimes contested issue. Inclusion of a country in any of our lists does not imply recognition of the country by any particular nation (or the EU) or approval of its regime by the Re.ViCa project or its advisors or funders.
