CSOs and youth organizations from the Western Balkans to effective participation in the process of EU integration 

Regional Youth Compact for Europe is a three years project which aims to strengthen CSOs, especially youth organizations in the Western Balkans and Turkey, in order to enable their more efficient participation in the creation of the public policies and monitoring of the processes of the European integration.
