The Regional Cooperation Council is to present the Balkan Barometer 2025 data, the eleventh edition of its flagship annual survey capturing the perceptions of citizens and businesses across the Western Balkans, on 11 December in Brussels.

The 2025 edition brings new findings on public and business sentiment, shedding light on developments in economic growth, digital transformation, mobility, the green transition, and trust in institutions. The presentation will bring together EU and Western Balkan policymakers, government officials, economists, civil society leaders, journalists, and representatives of leading think tanks for a forward-looking dialogue on the region’s development. By examining the latest Balkan Barometer findings, participants will explore how reliable data and evidence-based analysis can inform smarter policy choices, shape reform priorities, and strengthen regional cooperation. The discussion will highlight how public and business perceptions can help anticipate emerging challenges, measure progress, and support more effective, people-centred decision-making across the Western Balkans.

Over the past decade, the Balkan Barometer has become a key reference for policymakers, analysts, and partners seeking data-driven insights into social, economic, and political trends in the region.
