We are proud to announce the launch of the “Stronger Voices for Better Choices – Youth Hub for WB&T”, a regional initiative funded under the IPA program. This project is dedicated to empowering young people across the Western Balkans and Türkiye by promoting civic participation, fostering reconciliation, and strengthening regional cooperation as part of the EU integration process.

The project is led by the Ana and Vlade Divac Foundation from Serbia and brings together key partners from the region:

Beyond Barriers Association (BBA) from Albania

Prima Association from Montenegro

Youth Alliance Krusevo from North Macedonia

Community Volunteers Foundation (TOG) from Türkiye

Democracy for Development Institute (D4D) from Kosovo

Institute for Youth Development KULT from Bosnia and Herzegovina

The kick-off meeting was held in Montenegro, starting with a press conference in Podgorica to engage media and stakeholders.

This project highlights the vital role of youth in shaping the region’s future and emphasizes the power of evidence-based advocacy to influence policymaking. Together, we aim to strengthen the voices of young people, support inclusive policies, and enhance the capacities of civil society organizations across the region.

Stay tuned for updates as we work together to create stronger voices for better choices.
