"The project will contribute to women's economic inclusion by supporting women-led SMEs' access to finance and business advisory services," the EBRD said in a statement on Thursday.

The Western Balkans Women in Business programme aims to assist with financing and know-how women-led firms which face different context-specific challenges in the six European Union candidate countries in the region - Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, North Macedonia, Kosovo and Montenegro.
