Vucinqi warns boycott of EU-Western Balkans Summit

Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vucic, has declared he has not yet decided whether to attend.

Vucic said he will consult with Balkan Open leaders and the Serbian government on the issue.

I will expect to consult under the Balkan Open with Mr. Rama and Mr. Kovacevski. I'll consult the government. Then we will bring the decision, if we go to Brussels and what will be our position”, Vucic said.

He added that he is very interested in learning what will happen at this summit, as he will define Europe's architecture.

The Serbian president said it could be the most important day in the last 10 years at the European level.

I'm very interested in what this looks like Thursday, because we're going to be able to draw conclusions as to what the architecture of Europe will look like. Perhaps the most important and interesting day in the last 10 years at the European level of”, the Serbian leader added.

The North Macedonia government is expected to decide on Tuesday whether to participate in the summit to be held in Brussels, while the Albanian government has yet to know what its position will be.

The summit with the Western Balkans will be held a day before the EU Council session 23-24 June that is expected to decide on the integration of countries in the region.

Albania and the RMV expect the opening of negotiations, which requires the removal of vetoes from Bulgaria, while Kosovo expects visa liberalisation.
