We are pleased to announce that on 1 October 2025 in Tirana (Albania), BCSDN, together with Partners Albania, will host the regional conference “Resilient Voices: Civil Society in a Changing Western Balkans.” This high-level event will bring together civil society actors, EU institutions, national governments, and donors to explore the shifting civic landscape in the Western Balkans, from the legal and political environment to civil society’s role in EU accession and the sustainability of democratic action. The agenda will feature panel discussions on the state of civic space in the region and in the EU, structured participation in reform processes, and strategies to strengthen financial resilience in times of donor transitions and uncertainty. Participation is by invitation only, and the conference aims to foster dialogue, exchange practices, and shape a collective response to defend civic freedoms and reinforce civil society’s role in democratic transformation and EU integration. A detailed agenda will follow soon. Read more here.
