'The Western Balkans Investment Framework projects in Serbia are transforming lives and supporting businesses as part of the country’s EU accession path, by building a robust infrastructure network aligned with EU standards. Our projects connect towns and villages with roads, railways, businesses, schools, and hospitals with electricity and digital cables, significantly improving the daily lives of citizens in the region. Investments in people and infrastructures boost the economy while promoting regional stability and long-term sustainability and deeper integration with the European Union.'
The WBIF has supported estimated investments of €10.7 billion in the public sector in Serbia.
