| Description | The European Commission is, via the Western Balkans Investment Framework (WBIF), co-financing mature energy and transport infrastructure projects together with loans from the international financial institutions, as part of the Connectivity Agenda/Berlin Process. After the initial round in 2015, this action represents the continuation of cofinancing in 2016, to support the construction of energy and transport infrastructure, namely Projects of the Energy Community Interest (PECIs) and the Trans-European Transport Core Network (TEN-T core network) in the Western Balkans region. This action contributes to improving connectivity within the Western Balkans, as well as between Western Balkans and the European Union, and will serve as a driver for economic growth, jobs, and new investments in the region. |
