The International Organization for Migration's (IOM) partners in the Western Balkans have accepted the Action Plan for Sustainable Migration Governance in the Western Balkans 2023-2025 at the conclusion of the third Sarajevo Migration Dialogue in Jahorina, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“The Sarajevo Migration Dialogue is critical for Western Balkans partners to exchange and identify key measures to advance comprehensive, sustainable, and solutions-oriented approaches to effectively manage migration,” said Ugochi Daniels, Deputy Director General for Operations at IOM. “This Conference paves the way for actions at regional and country level for the immediate and medium-term future, where your partners in the EU and the UN will give added value for long-lasting results. I would like to reiterate IOM's commitment to supporting all authorities and partners in the region wherever our assistance is most needed.” 

The two-day conference, jointly organized by the Ministry of Security of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU), and facilitated by IOM, is dedicated to advancing the commitments that Western Balkans partners made last year in Skopje towards the sustainable governance of migration.
