Many people living in Germany have personal connections with Western Balkan countries, thereby building a” bridge, she says. The DW cites in advance the speech, stressing by the German Chancellor that the countries of the Western Balkans are our “European neighbours” and have a European perspective if they meet the conditions.
Although war conflicts for good have ended, there are still a large number of conflicts that need to be resolved. So we as the German government in 2014 proposed that there be an annual conference with the countries of the Western Balkans each year in order to improve contacts for talks and the possibilities for co-operation between these countries”, has been the comment of the chief of the German executive.
It cites the resolution of the name dispute between Greece and Northern Macedonia, saying that “this positive example should encourage us to solve problems in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also between Serbia and Kosovo”. When it comes to areas to advance co-operation, Merkel presents infrastructure expansion as a major problem and says the EU has made many tools available, but here must support the implementation of road projects and railway ties.
