In Mostar, regional efforts to align with European Union frameworks have progressed through both institutional and grassroots initiatives. A regional conference held at the University of Mostar focused on the ‘EU Policies and Financial Perspective 2028–2034,’ emphasizing the need for municipal and federal strategies to utilize upcoming EU budget periods. Officials noted the success of cross-border cooperation between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, citing 117 implemented projects valued at nearly 130 million euros.

Following these institutional discussions, the ‘Future is the EU’ campaign arrived in Mostar to engage the younger population. This EU-supported initiative centers on the ‘Joint Declaration of Youth on the European Future of Bosnia and Herzegovina,’ a document co-created by 80 young citizens. The campaign aims to provide a platform for youth to express priorities regarding the country’s European integration, which officials describe as essential for regional prosperity and stability.
