Escobar: Corruption, Big Problem for the Western Balkans

US Deputy Assistant Secretary Gabriel Escobar has said corruption is a major problem for the Western Balkans, and that is why Washington wants the European road to be open to all countries in the region. What I can say is that for the region, for the whole region, corruption is a problem [...]

What I can say is that for the region, for the whole region, corruption is a big problem. I am happy to see that the membership process gives rule of the law to a central country as the condition for entry into the EU”, Escobar said in an interview for the Macedonian portal “360steni”.

Escobar has said there is one more reason why the US wants to see the European road open to all countries in the region.

Any country that joined the EU is more stable, more democratic and advanced, and at the same time more fair in terms of justice for its citizens. This is another reason why we want to see you on the road to EU membership”, Escobar said.
