Brdo-Brijuni Process

Brdo-Brijuni Process (Slovene: Proces Brdo-Brijoni) is an annual multilateral event in the Western Balkans. It was initiated in 2013 by President of Slovenia Borut Pahor and President of Croatia Ivo Josipović. First official meeting was in Brdo pri Kranju, Slovenia. Main focus of the Process is the enlargement of the EU with countries of the Western Balkans. Similar meetings were held at the prime-ministerial level in 2010 and 2011 by then-Prime Ministers of Slovenia and Croatia, Borut Pahor and Jadranka Kosor. Brdo-Brijuni process includes Slovenia and Croatia (EU Member States) and candidates and potential candidates for EU membership from the Western Balkans (Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo).
