The EXBS Balkans Logistics and SME Support grant aims to provide essential coordinated logistics services and facilitate the selection of subject matter experts to bolster EXBS programming across the Balkans, including Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia. This initiative leverages the cost-effectiveness of utilizing regional trainers and comprehensive EXBS logistics support to enhance partner nations’ capabilities. The primary objective is to build and strengthen capacity in three critical areas: strategic trade control management, customs enforcement, and border security operations. The program’s execution relies on successful implementers managing logistics for engagements delivered by these no-cost instructors or other specialist experts as needed, ensuring effective and affordable capacity building.
