Zaev warns the EU: If there are no concrete actions, frustration of Balkan peoples will be great

Zaev spoke with Council of Europe Chairman Charles Michel, European Commission Chairman Ursula von der Leyen, with Eurocommissioner Oliver Varheley, Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansha, as well as Bulgaria's President Rumen Radev.

In all the meetings, he outlined the importance of expanding the European Union with Western Balkan countries.

While welcoming the decision to keep the bloc's expansion in the countries of the region a priority, Zaev made it clear that Western Balkan people expect EU statements to be translated into works.

By contrast, he said if the EU does not pass into concrete actions, then the frustration of the peoples of the region will be irreformable and the damage the Macedonian prime minister said will be very great, Tch reports.
