The Study analyzes the readiness of Western Balkan countries to align their national regulations with the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA).
This Law represents the most ambitious regulation, both at the EU level and globally, which aims to protect the fundamental rights of users of digital services.
It does this by prescribing mechanisms to protect the digital space from illegal content and by setting rules for transparency and accountability of digital platforms. Together with the Digital Markets Act (DMA), it is part of the EU’s Digital Services Act Package, which aims to protect users of digital services while encouraging innovation.
However, the DSA and the DMA bring a number of challenges, mainly related to their possible impact on freedom of expression. The dominant focus of the study is the readiness of the Western Balkans to align with the DSA; the provisions of the DMA (Digital Markets Act) to the extent that this legislation overlaps with the DSA. The study was developed within the framework of the project “Future of the Western Balkans in Digital Europe” supported by the Open Society Foundations-Western Balkans.
