In light of the most recent developments around the EU enlargement policy and ahead of the start of the planning of the new IPA 2021-2027, at BCSDN and NALAS, as regional networks representing CSOs and Local Authorities (LAs) in the Western Balkans, we believe this is a pivotal moment for discussing ways for improving the EU integration process and the role that CSOs and LAs play in it.
The aim of the workshop is to gather at one place relevant representatives of EU Institutions, representatives of Local Authorities and Local Authority Associations and Civil Society Organizations from the Western Balkan Countries to discuss a bottom-up approach to EU Enlargement and the new Instruments for Financial support for the benefit of its future and current citizens.
The workshop will take place on 5 March at the Representation of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia to the European Union, Rue Montoyer 47, Brussels.
