WestBalkanNet (WBN) has become part of the prestigious international project “Addressing the Common Challenges to Democracy in the Western Balkans and Eastern Partnership,” implemented by Forum 2000 with financial support from the Visegrad Fund. The project brings together nine organizations from the Visegrad Group (V4) and the Eastern Partnership countries, aiming to strengthen the role of civil society organizations as key actors in democratic resilience and change in their regions.
This project, through collaboration with civil society organizations from the Western Balkans and the Eastern Partnership, with the support of V4 countries, will identify the key challenges these organizations face in the democratization process. Additionally, through the analysis of strategies, communication messages, and networking with local and international actors, the project will provide recommendations to European Union institutions, international organizations, and donors on ways to support democratic transformations in these regions.
WBN’s participation in this project confirms its commitment to strengthening democratic capacities and regional cooperation in addressing the challenges of democratization.
In addition to WestBalkanNet, the project partners are:
- Res Publica Foundation – Poland
