The “WB2EU” consortium continues its activities after the end of the project

Although the Jeanne Monnet project “WB2EU” – “Western Balkans Vision 2030 – Europeanization meets democracy” officially ended in the fall of 2024, the consortium members, 17 very different institutions and organizations, from universities and think tanks to NGOs and policy analysis centers – from 16 different European countries, continued with some of the most important activities. As announced, the “WB2EU” network is dedicated to expert analysis and advocacy, but also to supporting the next generation of Europeans.

In September of this year, the third Summer School on Cres was held. The Faculty of Political Science of the University of Sarajevo was represented by students from the International Relations and Diplomacy program – Ismar Duraković and Faris Darman.
