The EU-Serbia Civil Society Joint Consultative Committee (JCC)

The EU-Serbia Civil Society Joint Consultative Committee (JCC) is one of the bodies set up under the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Union and Serbia.

The JCC enables civil society organisations (CSOs) from both sides to monitor Serbia's progress towards the European Union, and to adopt recommendations for the attention of the government of Serbia and the EU institutions.

The JCC understands the notion of civil society as encompassing organisations of employers, trade unions and other economic, social and civic interests.
