The European Union provided €151.1 million in grants under the Western Balkans Investment Framework, while €6.5 million in grants came through the European Investment Bank’s Economic Resilience Initiative. In total, 58% of projects will contribute directly to climate action and environmental sustainability. Over the year, €1.4 billion was approved for new projects, and €610 million disbursed.
