Organizacije civilnog društva, učesnici Foruma civilnog društva i tink tenkova 2024, pozivaju vlade zapadnobalkanske šestorke, institucije Evropske unije, Saveznu vladu Nemačke i vlade članica EU da podrže evropske vrednosti i evropsku budućnost Zapadnog Balkana usvajanjem sledećih zaključaka:
- U svetlu sve veće zabrinutosti za stanje vladavine prava i demokratije u regionu, pozivamo vlade zapadnobalkanske šestorke da pokažu snažnu posvećenost sprovođenju standarda vladavine prava kao preduslova za ubrzanje reformi u vezi sa pristupanjem EU, u skladu sa principom proširenja EU “osnove na prvom mestu”.
- Pozivamo Vlade zapadnobalkanske šestorke da se uzdrže od svih vrsta direktnih i indirektnih represija nad civilnim društvom, aktivistima i medijima u regionu i da se suprotstave usvajanju restriktivnih zakona i propisa koji sužavaju prostor za civilno društvo.
