Three EU neighboring countries (Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria) have 71 MEPs. Presuming that they are more familiar with the situation in the Western Balkans, this great potential should be strengthened, since it is important for the countries themselves and the advancement of the cooperation. This potential provides much needed support in Serbia's EU integration process.
In the first phase of implementation, a public discussion was organized in Zrenjanin in December 2010 with two Romanian MEPs, a representative of a civil society organization from Romania and MPs from the National Parliament of the Republic of Serbia.
The project is supported by the Balkan Trust for Democracy and the Fund for an Open Society.
