From among the many cooperation mechanisms developed by the European Union, the Twinning programme has been one of the most extensively and successfully applied institution-building programmes over the past two decades. Through more than 2000 projects, civil servants from the EU Member States have assisted, on behalf of the European Commission, the candidates for EU accession and countries of the European Neighbourhood Policy to reform their administrative systems in order to bring them in line with EU norms and standards.

The session will have a multi-stakeholder panel comprised of Ministries of Health, WHO, World Bank and the private sector.

The Objectives include:

The Party of European Socialists will hold a preparatory meeting of progressive heads of government and party leaders in Sofia on Wednesday 16 May to discuss common positions in advance of the official EU-Western Balkans summit on 17 May.
