Art and culture in the Western Balkans

Culture brings people together and has the power to improve lives, transform communities and generate growth and jobs. The EU and the Western Balkans share a common history and deep cultural ties.

The region has wealth of cultural heritage sites and cultural talent. In post-conflict societies such as the Western Balkans, culture also has a key role to play as a vector of reconcilation and mutual understanding. Preserving this rich heritage, and promoting intercultural dialogue, is core to EU support in the region.

The EU also provides many opportunities for artists, film-makers and creative industries to collaborate and reach new audiences.
