In early 2016, think tanks from 7 WB countries, which work for many years in the field of migration, created the Western Balkans Migration Network (WB-MIGNET), a new community of practice in the field of migration focused regionally on the Western Balkans. The first activity of the WB-MIGNET is development of the Observatory for the WB, an online platform for policy makers, researchers and donors interested in the migration issues in WB countries.
