In a major milestone for global economic security, a breakthrough research paper titled “Strategic Reserves Under Geopolitical Shock” has been officially published in the prestigious international journal MDPI Societies, which holds the highest CiteScore – Q1 rank.
The study, co-authored by Dr. Drasko Acimovic and Dr. Emir Kremic, marks a historic milestone as they become the first in the world to conceptualize a horizontal model for decentralized strategic reserves management. The paper delivers a concrete blueprint for the reform of ministries of foreign affairs, transforming the diplomatic and consular network into a direct execution tool for securing critical supply chains.
What makes this model revolutionary and globally applicable is its ability to operate without requiring any constitutional changes or transfers of competencies. This is a game-changer for complex states. The authors have demonstrated that economic security can be achieved through horizontal consensus and technological automation, while fully respecting the existing constitutional architecture.
This groundbreaking paper is the result of a perfect synergy between the authors’ distinguished fields of expertise:
- Dr. Drasko Acimovic – provided the legal and economic framework for the reform of the diplomatic network. His contributions are anchored in a PhD in Law, a Master’s degree in Economics, extensive diplomatic experience as a former Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Belgium and Luxembourg, and a stellar career building and leading major global enterprises.
- Dr. Emir Kremic – a PhD in Computer Science, co-founder of U.S.-based technology startups Analytics Armor LLC and Auroris AI, and a Non-Resident Fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) in Washington, D.C. Dr. Kremic integrated advanced blockchain protocols, smart contract systems, and IoT telemetry into the model, drawing from collaborative policy research with institutions such as Harvard University.
At a time when traditional multilateral mechanisms are losing executive efficiency amidst geopolitical friction, this collaborative model offers a universal operational blueprint. In addition to Bosnia and Herzegovina—which served as the primary model for constitutional asymmetry; the study scientifically proves that this framework is directly applicable to other highly decentralized and asymmetric systems worldwide:
- Canada: Upgrading existing interprovincial agreements for faster provincial crisis response.
- The Swiss Confederation: Introducing digital security and automated clearing into the system of cantonal concordats.
- The Kingdom of Spain: Ensuring market stability through horizontal cooperation among autonomous communities without constitutional friction.
- The United States of America: Providing a solution for interstate resource coordination at the state level during crises, without relying solely on federal funds.
By merging economics, constitutional law, diplomacy, and future technologies, Dr. Acimovic and Dr. Kremic have demonstrated how true macroeconomic resilience is built.
