The Western Balkans have been increasingly present in news outlets and (geo)political discussions, mainly because of their path towards becoming Member States of the European Union. Nevertheless, the general public outside the region often has limited knowledge of its history, present politics, and technical information about EU accession and governance structures. Western Balkans Untangled aims to be a reliable platform for gaining basic knowledge and understanding more complex information surrounding the region.

Western Balkans Untangled builds on four main values: democracy, equality, cooperation, and integrity.
