This meeting gathered officials of the CoG institutions as well as representatives of institutions responsible for the EU integration process and provided them with the opportunity to highlight similarities and differences in experiences from Western Balkan region and interactively discuss about concrete possibilities for better linkage of Government priority planning, sectoral policy planning and European integration planning.

This meeting was a follow up of the Regional Conference held in ReSPA in June 2017 where the need to reinitialise the network of the CoG institutions was recognised. Following the Regional Conference, the ReSPA Governing Board decided that ReSPA would further support this network and enhance the capacities of public administrations in the area of strategic planning and policy coordination.
