Internationally acknowledged as a transformative regional framework for sustainable arms control, the
Western Balkans SALW Control Roadmap, continued to be highlighted in major regional and global forums for steering progress toward compliance by the region with EU and international security standards.
In 2025, SEESAC continued to facilitate
coordination, to
monitor the progress, and foster regional cooperation to achieve the Roadmap's goals in close cooperation with the EU, Germany and France and a large number of partners.
The
13th and
14th Regional Roadmap Coordination meetings were organized on 8-9 July and 9-10 December 2025. Preceding these gatherings, six local coordination meetings were organized in
June and November-December 2025 by the SALW Commissions in each jurisdiction and support from SEESAC.
These meetings, coupled with the
13th and
14th biannual regional progress reports, allowed for a comprehensive review of progress, challenges, and future plans among government counterparts, donors, and international organizations.
As part of the Roadmap progress evaluation, the final review of the first phase of the Roadmap implementation was finalized with the preliminary findings and recommendations presented at the 14th Regional Roadmap Coordination Meeting.
