Closing the conference “Bridging Futures: Internationalisation of Higher Education in the Western Balkans and Southeast Europe”, RCC Deputy Secretary General Arslan Umut Ergezer underlined that decisions on education, skills, and migration will directly shape the region’s economic and social future and said: “Internationalisation goes beyond education, it is about talent, labour markets, and quality of life. The RCC will continue to support implementation and coordination, ensuring that today’s discussions translate into concrete results.”
