The Balkan Investigative Reporting Network is a close group of local editors and trainers that enables journalists in the region to produce in-depth analytical and investigative journalism on complex political, economic and social themes.

Supported by a regional hub based in Sarajevo, BIRN has members in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Serbia-Montenegro, Romania and Bulgaria.

It is dedicated to establishing an efficient and self-sustainable regional institution to enhance the capacity for journalism that pushes for public debate on European-oriented political and economic reform. Its flagship publication is Balkan Insight, a weekly analytical online magazine produced by BIRN’s network of trained journalists.
