POLICY ANSWERS Conference
The "Policy Dialogue on Aligning Priorities in the Western Balkans" conference took place on September 13, 2023 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The dynamic event delved into crucial aspects of policy making, stakeholder engagement, and policy implementation while centering around the alignment of priorities in the Western Balkans, with a specific focus on the transformative topics of Digital Transformation, Green Deal, and Healthy Societies.
Conference objectives
A key objective of the POLICY ANSWERS project was to bridge the gap between national/regional priorities and EU priorities, while supporting the integration of the WB into relevant EU initiatives and platforms. The focus was placed in particular on European Partnerships, but also EU Missions, Smart Specialisation platforms, initiatives of the EIT and other important opportunities were addressed - all of which contribute to shaping a digital, green, and healthy future for the WB.
