The Balkan Constitutional Forum was founded on the initiative of the Constitutional Court of Bulgaria on October 27, 2023, in Sofia, with the aim of exchanging experience and good practices between the constitutional jurisdictions of the Balkans on current issues in the field of constitutional justice. The Memorandum of Understanding for Establishment of the regional organization was signed by the Bulgarian Constitutional Court and the constitutional jurisdictions of Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Turkey, and Montenegro. A total of 10 countries participated in the discussions at the first conference in the Bulgarian capital, including representatives of the jurisdictions of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Romania, and Croatia.
A year later, on October 24, 2024, the second annual conference of the Balkan Constitutional Courts Forum was held in Kosovo. In Pristina, professional debates between representatives of 7 countries focused on "Developments in contemporary constitutional justice: the example of the Balkan region".
