WBF is an international organization established by the governments of the Western Balkan
countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, FYR of Macedonia and
Serbia, the first as such to be headquartered in Tirana. The Fund’s main structures are: the
Council of Foreign Ministers, the highest decision-making body, the Senior Council, the
Secretariat and the Executive Director. The launch of the Western Balkan Fund with its seat
in Tirana is another positive example of deepening the regional and cross-border cooperation
among Western Balkan countries.
WBF Director Executive Gjergj Murra said that the Fund’s objective is to boost cooperation between
member states, strengthen relations, advance integration into the European Union and promote
common values among citizens, civil society and regional institutions, by providing a concrete
approach at “people-to-people” level for member countries..(link)
