The Green Lanes Initiative has been established at the onset of COVID-19 pandemics. Following its highly successful implementation across the Western Balkans, the initiative for Green Lanes linking the EU and the Western Balkans, taken jointly by the Transport Community’s and CEFTA’s Secretariats, emerged as one of the priorities set by the Western Balkans Summit held in Sofia in 2020. Not only has its implementation ensured preserving trade flows in CEFTA, but it has also had significant economic benefits and proven invaluable in addressing the urgent needs of the population during the pandemic.
