The problem of our time is not how to
keep nations peacefully apart, but how to bring them
actively together, wrote David Mitrany in 1943. With that in
mind, think about developing the concept for a regional
trade facilitation project to introduce leaner and greener
transit routes and simplified import and export procedures
within Europe's southeastern gateways to Asia. Now,
imagine representatives from the post-conflict Western
Balkan region; Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia,
Kosovo, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,
Montenegro, and Serbia, all sitting around a table and
agreeing on common goals for a regional trade facilitation
project. Well, that is what IFC achieved during the
negotiation process for such a project in the post-conflict
region of the Western Balkans, a region that is moving ever
closer to European Union (EU) integration but remains far
away from full internal regional integration. This smart
lesson describes the challenges we faced and the lessons we
learned during the process of developing International
Finance Corporation's (IFC's) regional trade
facilitation project. |
