The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the European Union announced today a significant expansion of financial support for green and digital transitions.
A new €150 million top-up in EU guarantees will help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) modernize equipment and cut carbon emissions across several emerging regions. This effort specifically targets the Western Balkans through the "SME Go Green" program to make local businesses more competitive in the European market. Additionally, a separate €478 million agreement aims to unlock sustainable infrastructure investments in areas like renewable energy and digital connectivity.
Officials expect these funds to accelerate economic alignment as Balkan candidate countries prepare for potential future EU membership.
