Serbian Reform Agenda: Shortcut towards the European Union?
06. Dec 2024.
The Growth Plan for the Western Balkans, a package of measures of the European Union worth 6 billion euros, aims to double the economic growth of the region in the period from 2024 to 2027. Of this total amount, two billion are earmarked as grants, while the remaining four billion will be available through low-interest loans. Serbia can withdraw close to 1.6 billion euros, the largest share of any economy in the region.
Half a year after the presentation of the Growth Plan, in May 2024, the European Commission adopted a regulation defining the development of Reform Agendas as key instruments for implementing this Plan. Reform Agendas are meant to accelerate the process of EU accession, with visible reforms that will strengthen the institutional and economic framework of the region.
