The process of economic integration of the Western Balkans is constantly exposed to very complex challenges, but each new conference and each regional business forum is an opportunity for the introduction of a new dynamism in the integration strategy.

As a real possibility for improvement of the achieved level of connectivity that would give new impetus to the revival of the process of enlargement and integration, there is the creation of a common economic strategy of the countries that make up this geographical area. Dispersion economic ties can help more easily overcome local and regional differences, and to enable economic prosperity of this region is a necessary parallel development of infrastructure and re-industrialization associated with digital services.
