This publication is the result of extensive field research work carried out by the team of experts, youth workers and the project partner LDAs team members: LDA Montenegro, LDA Mostar, LDA Zavidovici, LDA Prijedor, LDA Central and Southern Serbia, LDA Subotica, LDA Kosovo, ALDA Skopje. Field research, focus group meetings, field and online surveys were conducted in some thirty smaller local communities across the region. Information and feedback collected and comprised in this publication serve as the grounds for furthering advocacy actions of CSOs operating at grass root level to influence more effectively the so much needed legislative and institutional reforms in support to enhanced implementation of youth policies and to furthering the EU integration perspective of the Western Balkans.
