No 148, IWE Working Papers from Institute for World Economics - Centre for Economic and Regional Studies

Abstract: Integration of the Western Balkans has become a priority issue on the EU agenda in the last few years. The lack of a history of regional cooperation, different degrees of economic development, existing trade barriers, violent conflicts, etc. have made the need for cross-border activities all the more urgent. There are several broad factors conducive to SEE regional cooperation as a precondition for integrating the Balkans into the EU.
