Central European Development Forum, CEDEF, is an independent, non-governmental organization established in 2003. CEDEF’s goal is to develop cooperation between regions in Europe, and promote sustainable and balanced development across Central and South-eastern Europe. We advocate and promote European values and civilization standards of the 21st century, specifically applied to the development of the concept of the regions in Europe. We believe that sustainable regional development throughout Central Europe as well as more intensive economic and cultural cooperation can directly contribute to higher quality of life. CEDEF has developed cooperation with a number of EU institutions, as well as similar organizations across Central Europe.
