Project Manager: David Král

Timeframe: ongoing (October 2010)

Executive summary:

The idea of project is to enable the creation of NGO and expert coalitions focused on the process of European integration in Bosnia and Serbia. This will open a public debate and raise the awareness among citizens of both countries about the integration process, and support the development of public and expert pressure on the government institutions. It will also strengthen the regional cooperation and help to identify common interests and obstacles in the process of European integration. This will be supplemented by looking at the Czech example and the experience generated during the pre-accession period.

The first part of the project will take place in Bosnia and in Serbia in the form of brain-storming workshop for representatives of NGOs, experts and journalists, aiming at creation of coalitions which will exercise pressure on political representatives and institutions regarding the European integration issues. The last stage will take place in Bosnia or Serbia. It will be a conference of the representatives of coalitions from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, as well as Czech experts, focusing on the issues selected and discussed within each workshop, and on identifying the common interests for two countries in the context of European integration, creating the space for establishment of cross-border interest coalitions.
