The Western Balkans stand at a pivotal moment in their European integration journey. As geopolitical dynamics evolve, the EU must reaffirm its commitment to democracy, human rights, and the rule of law as the cornerstones of enlargement. The EPC is pleased to invite you to a critical discussion on how to preserve and strengthen these values in the EU accession process. Another focus will be on the Growth Plan, evaluating its added value, opportunities and risks for the region.
This high-level policy event is organised by the Western Balkan civil society and think tank networks BCSDN and TEN. It will bring together civil society representatives, EU policymakers, think tanks, and media to reinforce the EU’s transformative power, propose actionable recommendations and elevate civil society’s role.
