RAI Coordination Meeting with Member and Observer Delegations Held on the Margins of CoSP11

Doha, 15 December 2025 – On the first day of the 11th Conference of the States Parties to the United Nations Convention against Corruption (CoSP11), the Regional Anti-corruption Initiative (RAI) convened a coordination meeting with Heads of Delegation of its member and observer countries.

Held on the margins of CoSP11, this important exchange served as a platform to discuss current national and regional anti-corruption priorities and explore future avenues for enhanced cooperation within the RAI framework. Delegations provided reflections and guidance on strategic and thematic priorities for the upcoming period, including the International Treaty on Exchange of Data for Asset Declaration Verification and RAI’s ongoing institutional reform process.

While national priorities vary across the countries, one message was shared by all participants: strong support for RAI as a trusted platform for regional cooperation facilitating knowledge exchange, sharing good practices, and helping countries advance with concrete anti-corruption tools and measures. Delegations also underlined the need for RAI to continue growing in capacity and reach, particularly to better support countries on their EU accession path and in delivering measurable reform outcomes.

The meeting brought together representatives from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia, and Ukraine.

Concluding the meeting, Mr. Albert Hani, RAI Director, emphasized the value of regular coordination among members and observers, noting that such discussions should be held whenever possible to better align priorities and strengthen joint action. He reaffirmed that RAI exists because of its members and remains committed to standing by them in support of their national and regional anti-corruption priorities.
