Regional Cooperation Council (RCC) and the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung’s (FES) EU Office are organizing book presentation and discussion on “Sustainable Economic Growth & Development in the Western Balkans” in Brussels on 30 January. The meeting will hear about the findings of FES’ recently published study on a new economic model for Southeast Europe and economic challenges and solutions towards more sustainable, qualitative and inclusive growth for the region.

Participants will also discuss the possibilities of bridging the development gap between the South East Europe on one side and Central East Europe and EU average on the other, focusing on more differentiated use of foreign direct investments, the need for the development of national and regional policies, and finally, the need for the revision of instruments of monetary and fiscal policies.
