Particular emphasis will be given to the current debate about further European Union enlargement in the Western Balkans. During 2005-2007, the grantee worked with three new think tanks in the region; published six major reports; and participated in numerous conferences, debates, and bilateral meetings related to regional developments. The grantee's main office is in Berlin. It has a field office in Istanbul and analysts located in Belgrade and Pristina.
