European Council Experts Debrief is series of policy responses by TEPSA to the regularly published conclusions of the European Council. Each time the European Council meet for a summit, TEPSA gathers its leading academics to comment on the conclusions, analysing alliances formed, maintained, and broken, investigating the policy implications of the consensus reached, and prescribing solutions to move Europe forward.

Stevan Đurić, a student at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Montenegro, won TEPSA's EP4U Student Contest in the “Employment & Social Policies” policy area. It was stated that Stevan’s brief is very well-researched, and provides concrete recommendations with a specific focus on youth employment opportunities in the Western Balkans.

We are pleased to announce the first TEPSA policy brief of 2022 “Challenges of Enlargement in the Western Balkans”, written by Danijela Jaćimović, Professor at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Montenegro, Joel I. Deichmann, Professor of Economic Geography at Bentley University and Kong Tianping, Senior Research Fellow of the Institute of European Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
