The events will take place in Skopje in January 2023, Tirana in March 2023 and Belgrade in June 2023. The partners will produce a position paper based on the discussion on the regional cooperation forum in Skopje and a policy brief based on the lessons learnt from the exchange visits including policy recommendations for future activities.<\/p>\n<p>The project duration is 6 months, that is, from January 2023 to June 2023.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Approved funds from WBF<\/strong>:\u00a011.990
