Abstract
The current economic crisis has left no place unaffected, including the region of South East Europe (SEE). Fiscal constraints have reduced the possibility of developing ambitious projects to deliver security, regional cooperation, and growth. Financial hardship makes it difficult to promote the reforms necessary to create long-term stability and prosperity and to pursue an agenda for the accession of all SEE states to Euro-Atlantic structures, a goal that is very much desired and expected by the people of the area.
