This paper is based on inputs from three regional online consultation events and one hybrid public event of the Thematic Working Group, “Access to European Single Market,” organized between June and September 2023. The thematic working group led by the European Policy Institute, Skopje, gathered more than 65 experts from civil society, academia, the private sector, and state administration from the Western Balkan Six and the Member States¹. At the same time, the event was attended by 83 participants. The European Policy Insititute (EPI) facilitated the consultation process alongside a core group of experts.
