Governance
Our governance structure consists of the Governing Board, Advisory Board, Coordinators and Secretariat. The governance bodies have distinct and complementary goals and responsibilities. We believe close cooperation with stakeholders is important for delivery of high quality capacity development program.
Governing Board
Governing Board is a decision making body of the CEF. It confirms the CEF annual report and financial statements, reviews the progress made and other relevant issues. Members of the Board comprise ministers of finance and governors of central banks from the CEF members (Albania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania and Slovenia). Members of the Board are also 3 representatives of the Advisory Board. Observers of the Board are ministers of finance and governors of central banks from the countries that signed or were invited to accede but have not yet ratified the Agreement. The Board is currently chaired by Radoje Žugić, Governor of the Central Bank of Montenegro.
