Extract from the booklet:

“…Education is one of the most important instruments in terms of regional cooperation not only in the Balkan region but all around the world.

Throughout history - even during war times - every nation has established cooperation in the field of education with other states and nations.

Young generations, being the most open to change and new developments, have always been in the centre of this cooperation and solidarity.

Thus the founding fathers of European integration and the subsequent leaders put educational cooperation at the centre of the Europeanization process in the countries of the European Community and its neighborhood…”
