EU and Western Balkans: a profound and deepening partnership

31/03/2022

Eurochambres calls upon the countries of the Western Balkans and the European Union to set up a clear timeframe for the implementation of reforms leading towards the EU accession of Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo. In order to prepare for accession, the EU should support the digitalisation of companies, entrepreneurial knowledge and training through regional partners, such as chambers of commerce and industry. EU support for key infrastructure and structural reforms in the candidate countries are interlinked.
