  • Story Text: Political leaders from Western Balkan states gathered in Berlin on Monday (October 14) for the tenth installment of the so-called Berlin Process, which aims to bring the Western Balkans closer to the EU.
    During the summit, representatives from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania, Serbia, and Kosovo signed agreements on improving access to higher education and a declaration on an Action Plan for the Western Balkans Common Regional Market for 2025-2028.
    Since 2014, the Berlin Process summits have been working to improve cooperation in the Western Balkans and their relations with the EU.
