Through the Drina assessment, the nexus gained momentum in the Western Balkans, and the project has contributed to the debate on trade-offs related to the development of hydropower potential, while also raising awareness about related environmental considerations in the Energy Community, among others. The regional round table "Operationalizing the Water, Food, Energy and Environment Nexus in South-Eastern Europe (SEE)" held in June 2017, used key inputs from the Drina assessment. The project "Promoting the Sustainable Management of Natural Resources in Southeastern Europe, through the use of Nexus approach", carried out in cooperation with GWP-Mediterranean, contributes to the South-East Europe 2020 Strategy, which includes "advancing the water, energy and food nexus approach at national and transboundary levels" as one of its objectives.
