This year BiEPAG marked its 10th anniversary of active work and efforts to bring the region closer to the EU and support the capacity building for EU membership with a one day conference back to where it all started - Sarajevo.

For BiEPAG, European integration is not only a goal in itself, but also one of the tools for achieving democracy, prosperity and stability in the Western Balkans. BiEPAG understands that the integration of the region in the EU is a project of central importance, that needs to be complemented with a number of processes, initiatives and actors that contribute to securing these goals within the countries of the region.

BiEPAG members have been directly or indirectly involved in all processes related to EU integration and democratization of the region from the very beginning, contributing with their proposals within the Berlin Process and the Civil Society Forum (as coordinators of working groups on bilateral disputes, and on our initiative and in accordance with our proposals, the Resolution on Bilateral Disputes was adopted in Vienna in 2015. year). They have prepared over 50 practical policy proposals and actively advocated for the recommendations from those analyses, some of them, such as the inclusion of the Western Balkans in the instrument for the rule of law, were accepted.

BiEPAG will continue to promote diverse perspectives and is committed to debate, both among its members and with others, based on the fundamental goal of securing a democratic and prosperous future for the region.
