A roundtable organised by the Friends of Europe’s will take place on Thursday, 28 October 2010, in Brussels. The event will bring together a select group of some 40 high-level EU and Balkans experts, including senior representatives from EU and national institutions, international and regional organisations, NGO and civil society groups, as well as business and industry. Some 100 observers – including members of the international press – are invited to attend the high-level debate. Discussions will focus on Europe-wide policy for ensuring the rule of law across boundaries to fight organised crime, as well as on regulatory norms and supervision practices that could potentially be adopted so as to increase investor confidence in the region.
