On behalf of the European Commission (DG ENEST), Hajde4EU - Regional Technical Assistance on EU Civil Society Support in the Western Balkans and Türkiye is conducting the 2025 assessment of the DG Near Guidelines for EU Support to Civil Society 2021-2027 − and we want to hear from Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) across the Western Balkans and Türkiye.

The assessment measures progress against the Guidelines by comparing the situation in 2025 with the baseline established in 2021 and the reports from 2023 and 2024. The findings will serve as a basis for the European Union’s assessment of progress towards EU membership and will shape future EU support to civil society. More about the Guidelines: https://enlargement.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2022-10/EU-Guidelines-for-Support-to-Civil-Society-in-the-Enlargement-region-2021-2027.pdf

The questionnaire is intended for civil society organisations from Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Türkiye.

The deadline for completing the questionnaire is Friday 5 June.

A few practical notes:


• Data are available only to the Hajde4EU team for the purposes of analysis and reporting.
• Your responses are processed in accordance with the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679). For details regarding data processing, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
