Directors HANDJISKA-TRENDAFILOVA and VUJEVIĆ signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between ReSPA and the National School of Public Administration of Croatia.

"Building strong partnerships to create robust public institutions and accelerate the EU accession of the Western Balkans is central to ReSPA's mission. We look forward to enhancing cooperation on joint activities and capacity development agendas to meet the needs of public administrators. This includes the exchange of facilitators, trainers, lecturers, and experts in various areas of expertise," emphasised Director HANDJISKA-TRENDAFILOVA.

Croatia's experience in public administration reforms and the EU accession process is a valuable asset for the public administrators of the Western Balkans. The MoU will allow ReSPA to leverage Croatian expertise and knowledge, benefitting public servants and fostering stronger public institutions, thereby accelerating the EU integration of the Western Balkans.
