Borrell: Belgrade full of Chinese president's bodours, we've never seen the EU thank

“We must strengthen our capabilities to explain our stabilising role in the Western Balkans and also our will to co-operate and overcome one of the most difficult issues, the lack of a dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina”, Reporter broadcast Borrell declared at the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee meeting.

He said next summit The Western EU-Balkans comes at a good time because “everyone realizes that we need each other and that the Balkans will not be a stable area without a clear European perspective”.

Borrell added that this could happen if Kosovo and Serbia invest in efforts to resolve their differences.

He voiced hope that the Corleone crisis will show that the EU is very committed to co-operation with the Western Balkan countries and that a clear European perspective will be established for them.

Speaking of EU assistance to Serbia, Borell criticised this state after saying, Serbia thanks China but never the EU for helping out

If you look at the streets of Belgrade, you see pictures of the President of China with inscriptions “thank you brother Xi”, which is very funny because I've never seen a sign that says that thanks to the EU for your help, and that we have helped Serbia and the rest of the Western Balkans”, he said.
