Summary/Abstract: The objective of this article is to explore institutionalised initiatives towards the region, especially the Stability Pact. Until recently, Serbia was not officially (at the level of the republican government) part of these initiatives and institutions, and consequently there has been much reaction on the Serbian side. This article stresses the role of NGOs, which have produced action plans for many projects viable in Serbia, and presents initiatives from Serbia, sectioned in the form of particular actions (socalled democracy projects) and proposals which have been made by European structures. These actions have had positive effects and have sparked a good public reaction in Serbia. In concluding, the article draws up a framework for future political and economic reform and for the possibilities of co-operation within the region and with Europe.
