This year’s summit is titled “Joint Interests, Joint Dedication, Joint Future: Together toward the EU.” In addition to discussions about the region’s European future, the meeting will focus on strengthening regional cooperation, the organizers announced.
The summit’s participants will pay special attention to implementing the EU’s Growth Plan for the Western Balkans, which enables the countries in the region to slowly integrate in the EU and brings concrete benefits to their citizens. To that end, the EU established a financial instrument for the 2024-2027 period, worth EUR6 billion.
