Slovenian Foreign Minister: EU deal on Balkan issue

Slovenian Foreign Minister Miro Cerar said Brex showed Union unity around Ireland's small member state, but that the EU “ra” on the Balkan issue when it could not reconcile for opening accession talks with northern Macedonia and Albania.

There are some positive effects on the part of the European Union regarding Brex, since somehow, we have maintained our unity during this process. We have shown that we are able to stand behind a small country, Ireland, to protect its interests, “tha Cerar for the AP.

Cerar warned that the EU's decision not to start membership talks with northern Macedonia and Albania sends a negative signal to the unstable Western Balkans.

“I believe this postponement and not making a decision was a historic error,” he said.
