“Important day for the Western Balkans. The first summit with the EU that takes place here. We are very committed to the region, to support it and face the consequences of the war. We will provide financial support to families. Since the first cyber attacks, I have provided support, our experts are here.

We also offered support for the Kosovo-Serbia agreement, which should be engaged in discussions. It is a moment of great opportunity. We will offer support, 10 million euros for demining in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Migration will also be a matter of discussion. It is important that we start working quickly. It is unfair that Bulgaria has not been accepted as a member of Schengen,” Borrell said.
