In  2014, in the wake of the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War, the Federal Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, initiated an intergovernmental process with the countries of the Western Balkans (the so-called Berlin Process).
Its aim is to improve cooperation throughout the region, put “fundamentals first”, and thereby reinvigorate European integration.
The first conference, organised in Berlin, was followed by a second one in Vienna in 2015 and a third one in Paris in 2016.
