MoU on the Social Dimension Initiative signed in Belgrade
Ms Aleksandra Tomanić (EFB), Mr Gordan Velev (ASB), and Mr Felix Henkel (FES) discussed the need to underline the importance of addressing persisting social issues in the Western Balkans. Social policies, from social protection to healthcare, education and employment needed to be placed higher on the agenda to surmount a regional political discourse riveted on legacy issues and polarisation.
The Social Dimension Initiative, which the organizations pledged to strengthen, will continue to reinforce the importance of discussing the social dimension of EU enlargement policy as well as national policy reforms throughout the region. The partners aim to coordinate their activities and continuously exchange information in order to develop evidence-based policy recommendations.
The organizations further aim to expand the network of perspective contributors and partners to this Initative among regional stakeholders.
