Cooperation agreements for the Lake Skadar/Shkodcr, Prespa Lakes and Sava River Basin have been established, with the Sava cooperation proving the most advanced so far, covering most aspects of water management as well as navigation. Another promising example is the initiation of a multi-stakeholder dialogue process between countries in the “extended” Drin River Basin aiming to create a sound framework for cooperation in the whole basin. Also, cooperation in the Danube River Basin is an example to follow: more than half of the countries in South-Eastern Europe participate in this effort and can use the experience gained in this framework for cooperation in other river basins.
