 Round Table: Focus Central\, Eastern and South Eastern Europe \,Nearshoring
  trends in SEE - what is ahead?’   Description The consequences of the C
 OVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine called for greater resilience of su
 pply chains and a higher level of cooperation in Europe. New buzzwords were
  coined\, such as reshoring\, nearshoring\, and friendshoring. Moreover\, t
 he EU integration process was again revived. As EU companies aim to shorten
  their supply chains\, bringing their production network closer to their ho
 me\, Western Balkan countries are in the spotlight. Yet\, besides the econo
 mic and geographic potential to grasp these FDI opportunities\, the Western
  Balkans still face many socio-political challenges. This event will discus
 s these issues and give further insight into state-of-the-art research and 
 relevant policies helping the Western Balkans to benefit from these new inv
 estment opportunities.   · Isidora Ljumovic\, Senior Research Associate
