In the run up to the Italian Summit on the Western Balkans scheduled to take place in Trieste on 12 July 2017, the International Conference - in cooperation with Centre International de Formation Européenne (Cife) and Centre franco-autrichiene pour le rapprochement en Europe (CFA) - brought together a number of European experts to reflect on the challenges facing the EU and its enlargement towards the Western Balkans. The meeting kicked off a series of events such as a Second Reflection Forum and a Civil Society Forum, which will be both hosted in Trieste in June and July 2017 respectively.
