The Regional Cooperation Council (RCC) and the European Commission have supported this process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>These operators voluntarily committed to reducing the gap between data roaming and domestic fees when traveling between the EU and the Western Balkans in both directions. The initial reductions in prices are currently being implemented by the participating telecom operators. Many of them are offering packages with prices well below the agreed maximum limits, making them accessible to a wide range of consumers. Further reductions are planned for 2026, following the agreed glide path, with the goal of making data roaming prices close to domestic prices by 2028.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Telecommunication operators from both the EU and the Western Balkans are encouraged to join this initiative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In December 2022, 38 telecommunication operators from the EU and the Western Balkans agreed to lower data roaming prices.
