The funding specifically targets gaps in strategic trade control (STC) licensing and enforcement, customs procedures, and overall border security. By providing resources and expertise, the initiative aims to facilitate the comprehensive alignment of WB6 national regulations and operational practices with established European Union (EU) standards. This vital undertaking seeks to foster enhanced regional stability, promote economic integration, and bolster security by strengthening adherence to international trade and security protocols, ultimately contributing to a more secure and prosperous Western Balkans.
