The coastal city of Durrës is today the center of regional political developments, where the Brdo-Brijuni Initiative Summit is being held, with the participation of the highest leaders of the Western Balkan countries.
The summit focuses on key issues such as the region's European perspective, the implementation of the European Union's €6 billion Growth Plan, regional cooperation, as well as policies for youth and a skilled workforce.
Representatives of all member countries have confirmed their participation in the summit.
Among the leaders present will be the President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, the President of Montenegro, Jakov Milatović, as well as members of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the President of North Macedonia, Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova.
For Kosovo, one of the priorities remains the implementation of the EU Growth Plan, which aims to bring faster investment and economic development to countries in the region that advance in European reforms.
The summit will include a plenary session and a joint press conference between President Begaj and his counterparts from Slovenia, Nataša Pirc Musar, and Croatia, Zoran Milanović, who are also co-chairs of the Brdo-Brijuni Process. Bilateral meetings between the participating leaders are also planned.
It is expected that at the end of the summit, joint conclusions will be adopted, which aim to serve as a concrete impetus for increased cooperation and progress on the path of European integration for all participating countries.
This regional initiative was established in 2013, with the aim of promoting dialogue, mutual cooperation and rapprochement with the European Union. The summits are held annually, and the last edition was held in Montenegro in 2024, where leaders committed to reforms, good neighborliness and the green agenda. /Telegraph/
