These recommendations stem from consultations with security experts across all Western Balkan countries within the Thematic Working Group (TWG) on Security and Geopolitics. Discussions focused primarily on how to foster regional security cooperation. The process involved three consultation meetings with 50 regional security experts and other stakeholders and a public conference held in Pristina with 51 attendees. This conference aimed to analyze the consultation process’s primary findings and establish recommendations for enhancing regional security cooperation. The Kosovar Centre for Security Studies (KCSS) facilitated the consultation process alongside a core group of security experts from each of the six Western Balkan countries.
