A Western Balkans Summit will be held in Poznań on 3-5 July. It is a meeting of EU ministers with representatives of the governments of the Western Balkan countries aspiring to join the EU.
As part of the summit, on 4 July, meetings of the Civil Society Forum will be held. It is one of the forms of cooperation, consultation, exchange of ideas and experience between non-governmental organisations and representatives of civil society, which is aimed at supporting initiatives of the Western Balkan countries - Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia and Serbia.
As part of the panel "Overcoming the legacy of the past", the Polish experience of reconciliation with Germany will be presented by Dr. Tomasz Skonieczny - Deputy Head of the European Academy of the Krzyżowa Foundation.
The Western Balkans Summit is part of the Berlin Process, an initiative launched in 2014 to support the integration of these countries with the European Union. In 2019, Poland took the lead in this process.
For three years now, the Krzyżowa Foundation has had the honour of supporting the efforts of the Polish and German governments to reconcile the nations of the Western Balkans. More information on this subject can be found on our website: Remembrance, Understanding, Future – seminar for young people from the Western Balkans, Poland and Germany.
