The Balkan Focus is a gateway for analysis on the Balkan region and its links with the European Union. It is a space to be up to date on the central issues, political appointments, and status of the accession negotiations to increase the understanding of the enlargement process and keep alive the attention on it.
This project, centered around the strategic role, both current and future, of the European integration process, stems from the extensive experience gained by CeSPI in European integration and the Balkan region.
