I plan to update this article. As I have a conflict of interest (I work at OBCT and I use this alternate account for my OBCT work on Wikipedia, my main account is User:Jaqen) I am describing here the edits I plan to do before I will do it:

1. name has been changed to "Osservatorio Balcani e Caucaso Transeuropa" (in short "OBC Transeuropa" or "OBCT") so I plan to move the article, change the lead section and the infobox and add a short explanation of the name change in the body of the article
2. the headquarters have been moved from Rovereto to Trento so I would change the lead section, the infobox and add a short explanation in the body
3. OBCT is not a part of the Peace Bell Foundation (Fondazione Opera Campana dei Caduti) anymore: it has become a part of the "Centro per la Cooperazione Internazionale" (Center for International Cooperation). I would update that
4. I would change the logo in the infobox with File:OBCT Logo with text.png (new name, higher resolution, PD from Commons)
5. I would add an external links section with a link to the official website
6. I would add ((Commons category))
7. I would add ((authority control))

I would add appropriate sources when necessary. All these edits seems to me to be non-controversial, but please let me know if there is any problem! --Niccolò "Jaqen" Caranti (OBC) (talk) 08:41, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Done If you have any doubt please let me know. --Niccolò "Jaqen" Caranti (OBC) (talk) 12:43, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article currently relies mostly on non-independent or primary sources:

• Five footnotes lead to an old version of OBCT's "About us" page.
• Three others lead to other pages at balcanicaucaso.org.
• One is an organization directory from the Municipality of Rovereto.

It seems that the only information that is properly sourced is:

• The Economist blog mention.
• Hacking attack.
• European Centre for Press and Media Freedom creation.

Best, --MarioGom (talk) 16:10, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@MarioGom: Here some additional sources:

• An old page on the RAI website testifying, among the other things, that OBCT was born in 2000 as "Osservatorio sui Balcani"
• a 2015 article by Repubblica about a crisis that OBCT was suffering at the time (and some general information also)
• an article by l'Adige from the same period
• a 2017 article by Altreconomia has a paragraph about OBCT
• the Lonely Planet guide to Sarajevo e Mostar describes OBC Transeuropa as a "reliable source of news about politics and culture of the Balkans" ("Affidabile fonte di notizie sulla politica e la cultura dei Balcani")

Hope this can help! If you prefer I can add some references in the article myself, of course. --Niccolò "Jaqen" Caranti (OBC) (talk) 11:05, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed a citation needed, added 2 references and moved another one. --Niccolò "Jaqen" Caranti (OBC) (talk) 10:21, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
