In this 6th Annual Report of the RCC Secretary General, Majlinda Bregu emphasizes the importance of regional cooperation in navigating the rapid changes the world has experienced since 2019. She reflects how the unprecedented technological advancements, rising geopolitical tensions, and the economic impacts of the pandemic have reshaped societies globally and within the region. Despite these challenges, the RCC has played a pivotal role in driving regional cooperation, fostering economic transformation, promoting green transitions, and empowering human capital, particularly women and youth. Bregu further highlights the progress made through initiatives like the Common Regional Market, which has enhanced regional connectivity and integration, serving as a bridge to the EU Single Market. However, she acknowledges ongoing challenges such as brain drain and mixed sentiments about EU membership among Western Balkans citizens. As the region continues to evolve, she calls for intensified regional cooperation, new sources of dynamism, and a collective embrace of possibilities.
