“It is a shame Bulgaria grabs two NATO countries in the middle of a European war. Victim, no, we'll never be the victim because we know there's a Bulgaria here, one there. We don't change the road, we have to continue building Europe in our home. The Open Balkans is the real answer as the integration path continues, but the European spirit must be built in the region.

Meanwhile, leaders of the 27 EU nations will meet today at a two-day summit in Brussels, preceded by a meeting of EU heads of state and government and the Western Balkans. The meeting of EU leaders and six partners from the Western Balkans begins at 9:30 at the European Council building.
