N-CoMERs in Prishtina and Skopje! 🇽🇰 🇲🇰

👥 As we reach the "mid-way" point of the 2024-2027 Reform Agenda, we brought together over 150 civil society organizations, academic experts, and government officials in both Pristina and Skopje on N-CoMERs organized by Group for Legal and Political Studies and Институт за европска политика (ЕПИ)/European Policy Institute - EPI.

📊 While each country faces unique challenges, from digital transition to the rule of law, the message from both consultations was clear: inclusive dialogue and evidence-based monitoring are the only ways to ensure these reforms lead to real European integration.
