Chat

90 minutes
First come first serve

The Western Balkans find themselves mired in a stagnant status quo, trapped in traditional diplomatic discourse without clear strategies to forge a path forward. To navigate a dynamic course ahead, they need fresh perspectives that can illuminate new opportunities for regional advancement. These perspectives are already withing our grasp, waiting to be discovered and embraced. United and mobilised, they embody a powerful force capable of reviving hope and ushering in a new era of prosperity in the Balkans.
