European Union project will not be completed until the Western Balkans will be part of our family. EU High Representative/ Vice-President Federica Mogherini said about this after her meeting with the Federal President of the Republic of Austria, Alexander van der Bellen, EU External Action Service informs.
“In general terms, the emphasis that Austria and the Presidency are putting on the Western Balkans and the European Union perspective of the region is extremely important. I personally believe that the European Union project will not be completed until the Western Balkans will be part of our family - geography, history, but also economy tells us so. And security by the way - because just few decades ago, we cannot forget what happened there. It is in our own interest to leave the door open and have them joining the family, provided the conditions are met.”- Federika Mogerini mentioned.
