Amidst the stagnation of statements and uncertainty about the start of membership negotiations with Albania and Northern Macedonia produced by the unsuccessful EU-Western Balkans summit in Brussels, the US administration comes out with a clear stance.
For Washington, the rapprochement of the region with the European bloc is of key importance, and this, in European chancelleries, should not be forgotten.
““We believe that the credibility of the EU enlargement perspective is vital to the stability and prosperity of the Western Balkans,” US State Department sources told the Macedonian news agency Mia.
DASH further emphasizes that the US continues to provide support for the opening of talks for Northern Macedonia and Albania as soon as possible. Although it was loudly trumpeted that something positive would come this time, from the western front there was still nothing new for the two countries in the region, which have been waiting for years for the transition to another stage of the road to the EU.
As it paved the way for Ukraine to join, the bloc did not give the green light to the two countries blocked by Bulgaria. After more than five hours of talks between the top leaders of the European Union, with the leaders of the Western Balkans, the planned press conference of the President of the EU Council, Charles Michel with the French President, Emmanuel Macron and the President of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen was officially canceled due to time reasons, which this time led to the removal of gloves and dissatisfaction was openly expressed by Edi Rama, Aleksandar Vucic and Dimitar Kovacevski, who did not spare the leaders of the bloc or outrageous jokes.
