MINISTER HARLEM DESIR AND HER EXCELLENCY MADAM LORENS OER ABOUT THE ECONOMIC
SUMMIT NEXT YEAR
In order to stimulate the economic de-
velopment of the Balkan countries,
the only response may beto increase
solidarity, increase the cooperation be-
tween the Balkan countries and the Eu-
ropean Union, and this is a great chal-
lenge. France decided to be a host in
Paris next year (after Berlin in 2014 and
Vienna in 2013), of the conference onre-
gional integration projects, which deals
with topics in the fields of economy, in-
frastructure, investments, youth. The
idea of these gatherings is to identify
the Balkan projects, the regional mu-
tual interconnections, the transport in-
frastructure, the environment, the en-
ergy sector, and to mobilize European
funding through the investment funds
from the public and the private sector.
In addition, through different forums,
it is necessary to stimulate the reforms
that are directed toward development
and employment. The social and edu-
cational policy are also a part of the
programme.It has been planned to cre-
ate an initiative for cooperation among
young people from all Balkan countries,
related to education and fight against
unemployment. The issues of recon-
ciliation are important as well, where
some progress has been accomplished
