Western Balkans

The Western Balkans is a region in Southeast Europe that includes countries such as Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia. It is characterized by a diverse culture and history, marked by significant changes following the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. The area faces challenges such as economic development, political stability, and reconciliation after past conflicts. The countries in the Western Balkans are increasingly seeking closer ties with the European Union, aiming for integration while also addressing various local and regional issues.
