The Western Balkans region is a key part of Eastern Europe. It comprises of a group of diverse countries at different stages of acession to the European Union (EU) - the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Croatia are candidate countries (with Croatia having started negotiations); Albania and Montenegro have signed Stabilization and Association Agreements (SAAs), an important step in the accession process; and Serbia, along with Bosnia and Herzegovina, has initiated a draft of SAA with the European Commission. The SAA process is also expected to be open to Kosovo, once its status issues are fully resolved.
