Preparing for Enlargement: Communicating Benefits and Accelerating Connectivity

As EU enlargement regains momentum, the fourth edition of the New Visions for the Western Balkans conference will focus on two key priorities for advancing the Western Balkans’ integration into the European Union: communicating the benefits of enlargement and strengthening regional connectivity. The event will bring together representatives of European and national institutions, experts and civil society to discuss how to build stronger public support for enlargement and accelerate economic integration through infrastructure investments, regulatory convergence and regional cooperation. Particular attention will be paid to the EU Growth Plan for the Western Balkans and opportunities to deliver tangible benefits of European integration ahead of full membership.
