The Berlin Process was initiated in 2014 by the initiative of the former German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, with the aim of connecting and integrating the countries of the Western Balkans before joining the European Union. The Berlin Process serves as a platform for high-level cooperation between high-level official representatives of the so-called Western Balkan Six, which consists of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Serbia. The process also includes EU institutions, international financial institutions and civil society in the region. The next summit will be organized in Tirana on October 16, 2023.
