RCC’s activities are guided by its triannual Strategy and Work Programme and the South East Europe (SEE) 2020 Strategy, as its integral part and a principal working document until 2020. At the Trieste Summit of the Berlin process (12th July 2017), WB6 leaders endorsed the Multi-annual Action Plan for a Regional Economic Area (hereinafter: MAP REA), prepared and coordinated by RCC with Competitiveness being addressed through the Investment Competent of MAP REA.
