The first forum of the Western Balkan Public Voices has gathered in Budva in Montenegro policymakers, media representatives and communication experts.

The forum in question was organised by the Ministry of European Affairs of Montenegro, in partnership with the European Union and the German Government through the GIZ project, within the Berlin Process.

During the meeting there, ways in which the process of integration into the European Union became more understandable and closer to the citizens of the region were discussed, Telegrafi writes.

During the forum, Montenegrin European Affairs Minister Maida Gorq stressed the importance of clearer communication for the European integration process, while German Ambassador to Montenegro Edgar Alfred Gansen highlighted the need for reliable and focused information on citizens.

Discussions focused on how the benefits of European integration can be linked to daily life, including opportunities for youth and businesses, as well as strengthening regional co-operation./Telegraphy/
