The Western Balkans Regional Network of policymakers was established in 2007 to share knowledge, effect policy change, and promote business environment reforms to enhance regional and national competitiveness. The Network provided a forum for bringing together Government Ministers and senior policy makers (national and sub-national), parliamentarians, the private sector, academia, and world class experts to collaborate on issues related to growth, competitiveness, innovation, regulatory reform, and business enabling environment reform. The annual conferences are the flagship events of the regional network.
