Legal basis

In June 2010, at Council of Europe Ministerial Conference in Brdo, Slovenia, five ERI SEE member countries reaffirmed their commitment to cooperating within the ERI SEE initiative (Albania, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia) through the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding on the Role and Organization of ERI SEE (MoU), which also sets a new framework for the transformation of ERI SEE into an international organization. Republic of Moldova has also joined the MoU in January 2011, and then Bosnia and Herzegovina in March 2011 by way of protocol.

The Memorandum of Understanding signed thereof presents the current legal framework for the operations of the ERI SEE.
