European Union for Enlargement and Good Neighbor Oliver Varhely estimates that the Open Balkans is the only way of co-operation of six Western Balkan countries in what looks like the next blow to Kurti Government. We have insisted on a common market. We want all Balkan countries [...]
We have insisted on a common market. We want all Balkan countries to be part of it and under the EU umbrella. The 6 Western Balkan countries return to the joint regional market”.
We wanted the six Western Balkan countries to be part of the Open Balkans. What we want is a movement with ID cards, facilities for students and for free trade, but this should include the entire region I call on six Western Balkan countries to return to co-operation, we need all six countries to be part of the Open Balkans”, Varhely said in his address.
Varhely also talked about visa liberalisation for Kosovo.
“We have made our proposal, but EU countries are not making the decision. We're involving everyone. There will be no end to conflict without all of it being resolved. Kosovo-Serbia tensions? This comes in steps to ensure safety. This is done among the common regional market. It can't always be the same fight” Varhely said.
