Skopje, 3 November 2022 (MIA) - Though written off as nearly impossible, after trying and nerve-racking two years, the three RCC-coordinated centrepiece mobility agreements finally see the light of day, said Majlinda Bregu, Secretary General of the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC) after Western Balkans leaders on Thursday at the Berlin Process Summit signed three mobility agreements under the Common Regional Market (CRM) Action Plan’s mobility agendas. These include the agreements on Freedom of Movement with Identity Cards, on Recognition of Higher Education Qualifications, and on Recognition of Professional Qualifications for Doctors of Medicine, Dentists and Architects, the RCC said in a press release. "Today they reach those intended for - our citizens! Much like the ubiquitous impact of the regional roaming agreement and the green lanes, their manifested impact on the ground will be direct and concrete. It contributes to building the bridges our region still needs within, and with the EU - on an equal treatment basis," said Bregu. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz thanked the RCC for all the excellent work done in the past two years on facilitating the three mobility agreements, calling for a speed up of regional cooperation and European integration processes. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said this is a big step forward of integration towards the Common Regional Market, because its gives the power to the people to develop experience and bring the best to the region. The Berlin Process participants reaffirmed the key role of the Berlin Process as a driver of regional cooperation and accelerator of EU integration process, and commended the efforts made by the Western Balkans in the implementation of the Common Regional Market. They also stressed their wish for continuation of the Berlin Process in order to harness the full potential of improved and inclusive regional cooperation, and agreed to hold the next Berlin Process Summit 2023 in Albania.
