As part of the 12th SBF 2023, numerous panels are planned with proposed solutions, when it comes to the energy and climate crisis, and on modalities of more successful economic cooperation and ways of encouraging and attracting investments in all countries of the Western Balkans, with the aim of faster economic development. Models of public-private partnerships and investments in key infrastructure areas in the countries of the Western Balkans will also be discussed, as well as better regional cooperation with the aim of creating a more prosperous future. The participants of the SBF will try together to come up with a solution on how, through the removal of trade barriers and better economic - regional connectivity, they can jointly improve the sustainable development of the economies of the Western Balkan countries, better standards of citizens and prevent the departure of people.
