The Western Balkan Counter-Terrorism Initiative (WBCTi) was recognised and widely supported by EU, regional and international security actors active in the Western Balkans (see separate briefing on WBCTi). The concept of Integrative Internal Security Governance (IISG) in the Western Balkans was developed later and formally endorsed by the Council of the EU with the adoption of the »Council Conclusions on strengthening the EU internal security's external dimension in the Western Balkans including via the Integrative Internal Security Governance (IISG)« in late 2016. It was later supported by the ministers of the Western Balkan region at the EU–WBJHA Forum.The integrative and complementary approach was thus extended from the existing WBCTi Pillar to two other area s of internal security–WB Counter-Serious Crime Initiative (WBCSCi) and WB Border Security Initiative (WBBSi).
