The Regional Youth Cooperation Office, in partnership with the German Federal Government, organizes an open call for the design of the 2021 Berlin Process Summit visual identity. The call is open for young people (from 18 to 30 years old) coming from the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia).
The Berlin Process was initiated by Germany to promote regional cooperation of the Western Balkans and to support the EU’s enlargement policy. Its first summit was held on 28 August 2014 in Berlin. It was followed by summits in Vienna (2015), Paris (2016), Trieste (2017), London (2018), Poznan (2019) and Sofia (2020).
One of the most tangible results of the Berlin Process is the establishment of the Regional Youth Cooperation Office (RYCO). The Agreement on the Establishment of RYCO was signed by the six Western Balkan prime ministers during the Paris Summit on 4 July 2016.
To be eligible to take part in the Competition, the competitor must:
- be between 18 and 30 years old;
