Moghrin at the Magdeburg city prize ceremony “ (Kaiser - Otto-Preis 2017 said all residents of the continent of Europe are Europeans, but that this territory has not yet joined.
In this context, she recalled that Magdeburg has mated with Sarajevo and that after the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina has helped rebuild the BiH capital, which Moghrin called “a beautiful, interesting and truly European city.
The other part of the Balkans is Europe. People from the Balkans are Europeans. Our continent will only unite when the Balkans at the end become part of our Union. Remember, the choices our fathers and mothers sometimes brought were unpleasant, but they were right. Sometimes we have to be bold and take the right step”, Moghrin said, the Anadolu Agency reported.
She added that it will be personally committed so that by the end of its mandate all Balkan countries can take steps towards EU membership.
I believe this is within reach. That's what they want and that's what we need for our continent and our security”, Moghrin said.
She last night received the “King Otto the Great” award in Magdeburg, which is divided annually to strengthen understanding and co-operation in Europe.
