Western Balkans summit: EU calls for clear commitment

The six states in the Western Balkans are to make a clear commitment to the European Union in the face of geopolitical tensions. „Cohesion with the EU is a clear sign of the partners’ strategic alignment, more than ever as Russia escalates its war in Ukraine,“ reads a draft of the final declaration of the EU-Western Balkans summit on Dec. 6, published by Contexte. It, therefore, reiterated the expectation that countries would join the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy and also adopt sanctions against Russia.
