The regional approach of the Western Balkans has already
inspired action in several other regions. Following the development of the
Caribbean Firearms Roadmap that was adopted in 2020 following the blueprint of the Western Balkans Roadmap, a similar approach was followed by the Central America and Dominican Republic by the adoption of the
Roadmap in February 2025. Additionally, in October 2025, the development of the
Andean Community Roadmap to Prevent, Combat Illicit Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition and Explosives was approved.
Furthermore, the impact of the Western Balkans SALW Control Roadmap and its relevance for regional cooperation and the security of Europe was acknowledged at high-level meetings such as the
Western Balkans Berlin Process Summit in London in October 2025.
