EU-Western Balkans reduced roaming prices information
17 OCTOBER 2024 | INFORMATION MATERIAL
Following extensive consultations and discussions with the telecommunications operators from Western Balkans 6 and the European Union, led by RCC and supported by the European Commission, EU-WB Roaming Declaration was signed in December 2022. This Declaration has led to substantial reductions of data roaming charges as of 1 October 2023 for the customers of the signatories.
In line with the Declaration, the price of 1 GB of data in at least one product offered to the widest number of consumers by each signatory of the Declaration should be lower than 18 EUR as of 1 October 2023, 14 EUR as of 2026 and 9 EUR as of 2028. Taking into account that the operators could choose the way how to introduce the reductions, most of them reduced the prices of roaming packages, many of them significantly, while some operators even cut the regular roaming prices of 1 GB.
The links to the reduced roaming offers of the signatories of the Declaration are shown below.

In addition, a sector review for “women in agriculture” has enriched the insights and has been included considering the strategic importance of the agro-food sector in the Common Regional Market Action Plan’s value chains.
