Under the title “Civil Society Transformations on the Way to the European Union”, Technical Assistance for Civil Society Organisations (TACSO) hosted an international Conference from 17 – 19 April 2013 in Zagreb, Croatia. TRIALOG director Christine Bedoya was in Zagreb and spoke about TRIALOG's experience in "Linking EU and Western Balkans through Development Cooperation".
The Conference presented experiences and challenges, which the Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) are facing in the countries of the Western Balkans and Turkey, during the European Union (EU) accession process. Interesting speakers with experience in civil sector guaranteed that the Conference covered various topics that were not opened before.
Christine Bedoya reports, that there is a very high interest of Balkan CSOs to participate in development projects on European levels, also beyond IPA funding. Under the new EC funding guidelines it is expected that also Balkan countries will be eligible to apply for Development Education grants.
