The Berlin Process, an initiative launched in 2014 to support regional cooperation and the European integration of the Western Balkans, will this year be hosted by the United Kingdom. Bringing together leaders from the Western Balkans, EU member states, and key international partners, the 2025 summit aims to build on more than a decade of dialogue, connectivity, and reform efforts.
About the priorities of the Berlin Process in 2025, as well as Civil Society and Think Tank Forum, and role of the civil society in Berlin Process, we spoke with Stormy-Annika Mildner, Executive Director of the Aspen Institute, and Christian Hagemann, Executive Director of Southeast Europe Association (SOG). The Aspen Institute and SOE were the organizers of the Civil Society and Think Tank Forum 2024, supported by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
