Serbia, Northern Macedonia and Albania will meet today in Ohrid, in the next meeting within the “Open Balkans” initiative.
On June 7 and 8, an agreement on the recognition of higher education diplomas, as well as memoranda on cultural cooperation in the field of tourism are expected to be signed.
None of the four planned documents mentions enlargement, but invites other interested states to cooperate in the future.
The representative of Montenegro, Prime Minister Dritan Abazovic, will also attend the Ohrid summit for the first time.
He has been criticized by part of the public in his country because he does not rule out the possibility of Montenegro’s membership in the “Open Balkans”, an initiative launched in 2019, which to date, despite having the support of the EU, as well as of the previous and current US administrations, failed to expand.
The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti has rejected the invitation of the Prime Minister of Northern Macedonia, Dimitar Kovacevski to participate in the Open Balkans Initiative
The three initiators, Edi Rama, the Prime Minister of Albania, Aleksandar Vuçi,, the President of Serbia, and Zoran Zaev, the former Prime Minister of Northern Macedonia, conceived this concept in order to create an area of free movement of people, goods and services in Western Balkans.
