Szijjarto: Western Balkans integration key for Europe's security

"Brussels and every capital in western Europe should understand that soon it will be difficult to talk about security in Europe without integrating the Western Balkans into the European Union," Peter Szijjarto, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, said on Friday. "We in the neighbourhood of the Western Balkans are fully aware how important stability in that region is, and it would be good if this were understood in western Europe, too," Szijjarto said in a video message on Facebook. Referring to European Council decisions passed on Thursday, Szijjarto said "they caused disappointment in several countries aspiring to join the EU."
