BRUSSELS – The Western Balkans has the strength to overcome the current challenges if it is backed by a credible European integration process, HRVP Federica Mogherini said Monday, Tanjug reports.
Mogherini made the statement before a meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels.
“I will report to the ministers, and then later in the week to the PMs, about the situation that is tense, it is exposed to challenges, both internally and regionally, also globally, but it is a region that has in itself the capacity to react to that provided that the credibility of the European integration process is there, and this is our part of the work so I expect from today, but also from the European Council later this week, to express a strong and clear commitment to the Western Balkans in terms of a credible European integration perspective,” she said.
