The European force of positive transformation is visible, said Deputy Foreign Minister of North Macedonia Fatmire Isaki. The EU meets the Balkans forum in Sofia. She said there are differences in the development of each new member, but there is not a single case where the membership process has failed.
Geopolitical changes have accelerated the EU enlargement process, but the community expands when invited, Tanja Miscevic, Serbian Minister for European Integration, said. She stressed that for almost three years there has been no possibility of opening the cluster of negotiations between Belgrade and Brussels. “There could be no acceleration given the insistence on resolving bilateral relations.” After Bulgaria joins Schengen, we will be surrounded by Schengen countries, but without being part of Schengen, Miščević emphasized.
After 12 years of negotiations with the EU, we have learned from our mistakes, Majda Gorçeviq, Minister of European Affairs of Montenegro said.
The EU is not just an alternative for the Western Balkans, but a necessity. There’s no going back, said Artemis Malo, Albanian Deputy Minister for Europe and foreign affairs.
Turkey has an important role to play in European security. This was said by Mehmet Bozay, Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister, who participated in the “EU meets the Balkans”. We should not tire people by talking about enlargement. Citizens must feel that they are part of the EU. And the same should apply to member states, Bozay said.
