The purpose of this conference was to exchange experiences between regional NGOs regarding the NATO integration process, as well as to establish better communication amongst government authorities and civil society groups with the aim of promoting common interests. The different levels of SEE countries in integration in the Alliance represent a great opportunity to exchange the best practices of mobilizing public support for the decisions made by authorities.
