Our Long-Term Goals
Long-term goals of ADD correspond to SDGs, but also go beyond them and reach even further
Regonal Approach
It has become evident over the decades following the last armed conflict in the region that none of the countries can solve these issues separately, and this is why we are doing something completely different – adopting the regional agenda.
Regonal Solutions to Separate State Problems
Everyone involved
All the solutions that need to be made have to be product of participation of great number of factors and include all of the stakeholders, rather than result of the agreement of political elites in each of the countries.
Strength
Our strength lies in the fact that we are all active politicians and decision-makers in our countries who can implement policies and solutions that are going to be developed.
