Our programme director Jasminka Young took part in the Civil Society & Think Tank Forum 2025 held in Podgorica, Montenegro, on September 22-23.
The CSF is a key regional platform that brings together civil society actors, grassroots leaders, and independent policy voices from across the Western Balkans (WB6) before the annual Berlin Process Summit. It plays a crucial role in formulating policy recommendations grounded in local realities, regional cooperation, and shared European aspirations.
Lead rapporteurs for six themes each developed recommendations with the help of CSOs from across the WB6 region, of which RES Foundation was one. The six themes this year covered: Common Regional Market and Growth; Gender and Diversity; Reconciliation and Dealing with the Past; Environment, Energy and Decarbonisation; Security; and Good Governance.
