SEECOM is an international non-for-profit professional association, based in Budva, Montenegro, which seeks to promote the highest ethical and professional standards of public sector communications and good governance through professional exchange between public sector communicators in South Eastern Europe.

Its members include directors of government communications offices, communications advisers to heads of government, government spokespersons and other senior public sector communicators in 13 countries of South East Europe.

SEECOM’s credo is that effective communication with citizens helps governments create better policies, ones that are more attuned to people’s actual needs, expectations or concerns.

SEECOM’s founding values are enshrined in the Budva Declaration, Europe’s first transnational declaration of core professional and ethical principles of government communication, adopted by a group of senior government communication officials of South East Europe at a conference in Budva, Montenegro, in September 2012.
