This publication was developed in the framework of the 2022 Civil Society & Think Tank Forum, a two-part conference to support the Berlin Process, a German government initiative aimed at supporting the EU integration process of the Western Balkans. The forum consisted of a Digital Preparatory Workshop, where civil society representatives from the Western Balkans gathered in online working groups to develop policy recommendations on six different topics, and a Conference in Berlin, where these recommendations were presented and further discussed with decision-makers. Our working group rapporteurs were then invited to report the recommendations to heads of government at the Western Balkans Summit in the German Chancellery as well as at the preceding meeting of foreign ministers. In the following weeks, they were also given opportunities to meet one-on-one with key stakeholders from Germany and the EU to discuss their proposals in greater depth. This publication includes the final policy recommendations from this process as well as a short report by the organizers on the conference proceedings.
