Albania, Montenegro, Northern Macedonia and Serbia - these countries in the Western Balkan want to become members of the European Union. But the way there is difficult and long. The social dialogue in these countries is weak, corruption is pervasive, and social security is very limited. With our special project Western Balkan, we want to assist the workers’ organizations in these countries to effectively represent worker interests and to participate in shaping the EU integration process of their countries in their role as social partners.
