Poor networking is one of the key challenges one encounters in the Western Balkans. Finding the right contacts, existing or new opportunities, being kept in the loop is a major issue.

Smart Balkans Networking page serves the sole purpose of helping practitioners, experts, policy-makers and interested individuals/organisations find possible counterparts in the region quickly and easily. This is intended to be a ‘work in progress’ type of page aimed to be updated by any newly discovered contacts for you to get in touch with.
