On the occasion of the public launch of the PRINCE project  

„Open your mind and get involved!” 

have the honour/ pleasure to invite you to a public discussion on the EU enlargement process towards the Western Balkan states that will take place at the 

Political Academy of the Austrian People’s Party (Tivoligasse 73, 1120 Wien)

This event is being organized by the Political Academy of the Austrian People’s Party in cooperation with the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung. It is the official start for a series of twenty-four workshops that will take place in eight European countries, hosted by different members of the European Network of Political Foundations (ENoP). The project aims to familiarise EU citizens with the culture and socio-political structure of candidate countries and potential candidates in Southeast Europe. It will stimulate an informed debate about the benefits and challenges of future EU enlargements. With Richard Kühnel, Head of the Delegation of the European Commission in Austria and His Excellency Milovan Božinović, Ambassador of the Republik of Serbia to Austria, we have managed to attract distinguished guest speakers whose knowledge of the region of the Western Balkans and the EU enlargement policies will provide a deep insight into the current state of affairs both from the perspective of the European Union and the Western Balkans.
