Background of cooperation in SEE ● The Balkan Entente (1934 - 1940) ● The Balkan Alliance (1953 - 1955) ● The Balkan Conference (1930 - 1933) ● The Conferences of foreign ministers (1988 - 1990) ● Top issues concerned border security, territorial integrity and defense while issues of broader economic and cultural cooperation were present but less importance was placed on them. Obstacles to the process of Sub-regional cooperation ● ● ● ● ● ● ● The lack of tradition in multilateral cooperation. The peripheral position of the region as compared to leading European integration centers. The underdeveloped level of economy and limited resources (financial, human resources) for cooperation. Longstanding and unresolved regional disputes and conflicts, including disputes concerning national minorities. The political and economic incoherence of the region. Differences in national, political and economic interests and orientations alongside the existence of nationalistic, populist governments that have little interest in improving cooperation with neighboring countries. Insufficient international incentives for regional cooperation, particularly when the engagement of international resources or political encouragement is concerned.

AEGEE initiatives in SEE ● ● ● Peace Academy (1991-2000) resulted in 11 congresses, 3 summer universities, 1 film festival, 1 case study trip. Case study trips in ex-Yugoslavia: a 3-week-long research trip in 5 countries in order to increase the knowledge of the area and the culture (1996-1999). Youth for South Eastern Europe (Youth4SEE) resulted in 3 trainings at which over 200 youth leaders from 57 non-governmental organizations gathered (2001- ) www.youthforsee.org . The presentation gave the past and the present alliances and initiatives within countries in South Eastern Europe (SEE), and between SEE and the rest of Europe. The simulation For the simulation, the participants were divided in three different groups and each one had its own chairman. One was assigned to chair the debates. At the EU and SEE joint Declaration Chairmen: Jelena MAKSIMOVIC & Simone PASCHETTO The will of SEE countries to find solutions to the problems and the willingness of EU countries to open and constructively help has really influenced the good outcome of the talks. Agreements on every issue were reached without major problems. The results of our parliamentary debate were formulated in a form of a declaration: 1) BORDER POLICY: At first it was obvious that the participants representing SEE countries (Igor chose those who were not originally from there) did not know what asking for a EU visa entails, so they could not make precise and realistic demands. After that was explained to them, they asked for complete abolishment of the visa regime (the people of SEE countries should have the same rights of freedom of travel as inhabitants of EU countries). That was, of course, denied by representatives of EU countries. Here is what they agreed upon and what we put into the draft of our Declaration: 49
