It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 8th Forum of the EU Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region, organised by Bosnia and Herzegovina and the European Commission with the support of the EUSAIR Facility Point in Sarajevo, from 23 to 25 May 2023.

As the country which faces with severe 'brain drain' issue that affects many aspects of life and having in mind that recently Bosnia and Herzegovina finally received the EU candidate status, there was no doubt about what the main topic, besides the enlargement process, of this year's Forum should be.

The Forum will also focus on 'greening' of EUSAIR as important contribution to European Green Deal and Green Agenda for Western Balkan and thus contributing to EU enlargement policy, too. Hence, different stakeholders of all ages will be engaged, with strong focus on youth involvement.

The FORUM will be organised in hybrid manner, allowing both in-person and online participation.

We sincerely hope that you will be able to join us in-person and we are already looking forward to welcoming you in Sarajevo.

EUSAIR Facility Point on behalf of the Bosnia and Herzegovina's Presidency of EU Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region.
