Water supply and sanitation regulation in the Danube Region

This is a specialised training on water supply and sanitation regulation in the Western Balkans.

The World Bank’s Danube Water Program and WAREG, the European association of water regulators, are pleased to co-organise a regional regulation workshop on water supply and sanitation (WSS) in the Western Balkans. Taking place from 25 to 26 September 2025 at the Robert Schuman Centre in Florence, this two-day event will bring together regulators and sector experts to present and discuss the findings of a comprehensive review on WSS regulation in the Western Balkans, developed for the upcoming Danube State of the Sector Report 2025.

The workshop will address key regulatory challenges and explore practical solutions for enhancing regulatory practices and tools, with regard to tariff setting, and efficiency and service quality monitoring. It will also focus on the latest EU legislative developments and their impacts on regulatory authorities in the WSS sector. The programme includes in-depth training sessions delivered in collaboration with the Florence School of Regulation, offering valuable learning opportunities for regulatory professionals from across the region.
