The Swiss Cultural Programme in the Western Balkans is run by Pro Helvetia, the Swiss Arts Council, upon mandate of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation SDC.

The overall goal of the Swiss Cultural Programme in the Western Balkans is to contribute to the promotion of democracy and freedom of expression, to conflict resolution and the respect of minorities through employment of cultural instruments and fostering of regional cooperation, thus facilitating the formation and preservation of independent and diversified cultural landscapes.

The Swiss Cultural Programme works in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia and Serbia. The programme’s strategic and operational management is based in the regional office in Sarajevo.

The Swiss Cultural Programme in the Western Balkans supports BIRN Hub’s Balkan Initiative for Cultural Cooperation, Exchange and Development (BICCED).
