The EU has sent the signal that the Western Balkans cannot remain a political vacuum within its borders and that their journey towards membership of the European Union will be supported. The scars of the 1990s conflict remain etched on the region. This video focuses on the attempts being made to develop at local, national and at regional level, the economic and political stability that will help the region get closer to the EU. We visit Croatia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, both of whom have applied for EU membership. We visit Knin, a town in the Krajina region of Croatia, where Serbs like Dragan Katic are slowly returning to their homes. Katic set up a greenhouse to support his family and is now supplying vegetables to the local market. With EU support a business centre is being built in the town and the business is developing. We hear from the Deputy Mayor of the town who explains that "it is in everyone’s interest in Knin to move forward especially with the economy". In a feature interview with Prime Minister Ivo Sanader, we hear the commitments of the Croatian government to places such as Knin and his commitment to generate employment opportunities for returned refugees. The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, was seriously affected by an ethnic Albanian insurgency in 2001. A power sharing agreement has resolved those issues for the present and economic growth is key to sustained stability. In this report we examine one of the key sectors of the FYROM economy - Agriculture. We visit the farm of Baki Dimiri in the Western part of the country and feature an interview with the Minister for Agriculture Slavko Petrov.
