“…The dissatisfaction with the proposed reform among European regions without GMOs, specific stakeholder groups, farmers, and researchers became particularly prominent at the 10th GMO Free Europe Conference held in Brussels on September 6-7, 2023 (GMO free Europe, 2023). The most significant argument put forth by critics was that 94% of all new GM plants already on the market and/or in commercial development fall into Tier 1, the category for which the EC proposes complete deregulation, effectively implying full openness to NGTs in Europe (Brankov, 2023).…”

In the Western Balkans, comprising Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Kosovo*3 , there exists a diversity of perspectives on the matter of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their associated politics. Given the growing significance of this issue and the ongoing discourse within the EU regarding new genomic techniques (NGTs), the primary objective of this paper is to assess the prevailing regulatory landscape within the region. The findings underscore the vital need for a harmonized regulatory framework concerning NGTs among countries in the same geographical vicinity. The absence of such coherence could potentially cast doubt on the viability of the Open Balkan initiative. This article thus serves as a foundational resource for governments, scholars, and policymakers engaged in the formulation of GMO-related policies, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the regional dynamics and facilitating informed decision-making.
