[BENCHER] The Western Balkans’ bumpy quest for EU integration – 2016 Regional analysis

This analysis is based on the contribution and findings of the separate country analyses made by the project partners, produced within the BENCHER project. In order to produce this report, we have also analyzed the documents contained in the enlargement package of DG Neighborhood and Enlargement Negotiations and conducted a thematic analysis of the statements of the Commissioner regarding each country as well as the statements of the heads of state and key political leaders within the WB countries. In addition, we have provided a critical note from a CSO’s standpoint as watchdogs of both the governments and the EU institutions.
