PHASING IN INTO THE SINGLE MARKET AS A POTENTIAL FOR GROWTH FOR THE WESTERN BALKANS 

In the scope of the Berlin Process, this year, Meeting of Ministers of Economy from Western Balkans and Business Forum are taking place in Tirana under the Albanian Chairmanship. These events will serve as a tool to reflect on our common achievements towards Western Balkan convergence towards the EU Single market.

The event is taking place in Tirana, Palace of Congress, on September 26th 2023, with presence of H.E. Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, high representatives of European Commission, Western Balkans Ministries and regional organizations.
