The South-East European Cooperation Process (SEECP) is a political and economic regional organization established in 1996, with the aim of promoting cooperation and stability among the countries of Southeast Europe. It serves as a platform for dialogue, coordination, and cooperation on various regional issues, including security, infrastructure development, trade, and human rights.
SEECP operates through regular meetings and summits attended by the heads of government or foreign ministers of its member states, including Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, and Turkey. The organization's main goal is to foster good neighborly relations, mutual understanding, and trust among the countries in the region.
The SEECP focuses on promoting regional integration and European Union (EU) accession for its member states, as well as encouraging cross-border cooperation on issues such as energy, transportation, and environmental protection. It also supports initiatives aimed at enhancing economic cooperation and trade facilitation among the participating nations.
By providing a platform for dialogue and cooperation, the SEECP aims to contribute to regional stability, peace, and prosperity. It seeks to address common challenges and foster regional dynamics that lead to sustainable development and the well-being of the people in Southeast Europe. The organization works in close coordination with other regional initiatives, international organizations, and European structures to achieve its objectives.
