Regional cooperation
Cooperation, working together across borders and reconciliation are at the heart of the EU project. The EU agenda in the Western Balkans is focused on building a shared future, while overcoming the legacy of the past.
One of the ways of driving growth and stability is to improve economic integration. A larger integrated market is more attractive for foreign investment and a stepping-stone for closer integration with the EU. This goes hand in hand with social integration and reconciliation – central to EU investment and support in the region.
