Abazović to participate in Berlin Process Summit with the Western Balkans leaders

Prime Minister Dritan Abazović will participate in the Berlin Process Summit with the Western Balkans leaders, hosted by Federal Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany Olaf Scholz.

Western Balkans leaders are set to sign three agreements on mutual recognition of identity cards, university degrees and professional qualifications.

Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholz will open the summit, while the main topics of discussion will be the future of the Berlin Process and the Common Regional Market, as well as energy security and transition.

The Berlin Process is a format of annual meetings that the German government, under Chancellor Angela Merkel, initiated in 2014 when the Conference on the Western Balkans was held in Berlin.

The goal of the process is to accelerate the cooperation of the six countries of the Western Balkans and the integration of that region into the EU. The initiative mainly focuses on solving bilateral and internal problems in the region and improving economic cooperation, which would be the basis of sustainable development of the region.
