za Balkan

Evropski fond za Balkan je višegodišnja zajednička inicijativa Evropskih fondacija uključujući Robert Bosch Stiftung, the King Baudouin Foundation, Compagnia di San Paolo i ERSTE Foundation. Smišljen je da poduzima i podržava inicijative u cilju približavanja Zapadnog Balkana Evropskoj uniji kroz davanje grantova i operativne programe. Ciljevi Fonda su: potaknuti šire i jače opredjeljenje za evropsku integraciju zemalja i društava Zapadnog Balkana; ojačati napore niza dioničara u ovom procesu kako bi se razvila efikasnija politika i praksa u regionu i u EU; i podržati proces gradnje zemalja članica kako to vidi međunarodna komisija na Balkanu, posebno gradnjom izbornih jedinica u društvima jugoistočne Evrope kojima će biti ponuđena mogućnost da iskuse i uče o Evropi.

About the European Fund for the Balkans

The European Fund for the Balkans is a multi-year joint initiative of European Foundations including the Robert Bosch Stiftung, the King Baudouin Foundation, the Compagnia di San Paolo and the ERSTE Foundation. It is designed to undertake and support initiatives aimed at bringing the Western Balkans closer to the European Union through grant-giving and operational programmes. The Fund’s objectives are: to encourage broader and stronger commitment to the European integration of the Western Balkan countries and societies; to strengthen the efforts undertaken by a range of stakeholders in this process also with a view to developing effective policies and practices in the region and in the EU; and to support the process of member state building as envisaged by the International Commission on the Balkans, in particular by building constituencies in the societies of Southeast Europe who will be offered an opportunity to experience and learn about Europe.
