(3 years ago)The Western Balkans are tasked with fighting violence, traffickers and preventing crime in the region. It was this position expressed by European Union High Representative Josep Borrell, during a event in Brussels for the search of firearms, following two tragic massacres that were recorded in Serbia. We must fight it [...]
We have to fight it because it's a whole problem. We must attack him from many angles, and with all our means, beyond all borders. By making sure that the measures taken after such tragic incidents, we abide by international standards. We share a common goal of increasing European security, to protect all our citizens, whether in the European Union or, I want to stress, in our future member states”, said Josep Borrell, EU High Representative for Foreign Policy.
The top diplomat also cited the importance of implementing the European Union's action plan for combating fire arms trafficking 2020-2025 in the Western Balkans.
There will be no secure European Union without a stable, strong and peaceful Western Balkans. And that's why since 2002, since 20 years ago, the European Union has invested about 38m euros in weapons control activities in the region”.
Present at this event, also Eurocommissionor for Internal Affairs Ylva Johannson, who also underlined the importance of preventative measures on arms trafficking.
