Representatives of civil society organizations and activists from the Western Balkans and Turkey, gathered at the annual Tasco Civil Society Forum held on 11-13 June 2024 in Belgrade, created a joint open letter. The letter was created based on the discussions held at the Forum regarding the new Growth Plan for the Western Balkans.
Namely, the new Growth Plan for the Western Balkans represents a significant new opportunity to encourage EU-aligned reforms in the region, while at the same time strengthening the EU's public image and overall support for EU accession. This can only be achieved if the implementation process of the Growth Plan is transparent and inclusive, taking into account the large roles played by companies from the region, and not only because of the 6 billion euros of additional financial support associated with it.
