The Balkan Reconstruction Observatory (BRO) has been set up jointly by the Hellenic Observatory, the Centre for the Study of Global Governance (LSE) and the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (WIIW), which monitors developments in the region of Southeastern Europe and offers data, comments and analyses on the economic, political and security aspects of the region's reconstruction and integration into the European Union.
The Balkan Reconstruction Observatory initiated its activities with a two-day brainstorming meeting on Reconstruction and Regional Co-operation in the Balkans, held in Vouliagmeni (Greece), 8-10 July 1999.
A group of high-level experts and policy makers from different countries exchanged views on alternative policies aiming at democratic transformation, economic development and integration of Southeastern Europe in the EU.
