The EU enlargement before regional cooperation in the Western Balkans?

09/2024 -  Autori: AA.VV.

Regional cooperation has always been one of the key conditions for Western Balkan countries to access the EU. Over the years, EU conditionality has led to a proliferation of initiatives aimed at promoting cooperation among candidate countries from the WB region. CeSPI and OBCT undertook a study, financed by the Italian Ministry for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, to map and examine the regional cooperation efforts undertaken in the WB in the last years, with a specific analysis of the Berlin Process.
