PRM

The world is facing a deep transformation. Circumstances have changed, and so have the rules of the game. The countries from the region of the Balkans do not have sufficient capacity to handle all those challenges and risks alone.


The Brdo - Brijuni Process has filled in the recent vacuum in terms of regional cooperation. It enables us to substitute declarations with actual projects which deliver concrete results; to shift from a formal towards a more informal, but sincere dialogue regarding all issues of importance for the countries in the region.

We, the Presidents, should restore mutual trust in our Region and enable maximum cooperation and connectivity.

We cannot change the past – but together, we can change the present, thus changing the future.
