Kurti goes to Skopje on Monday for a meeting with leaders of the Western Balkans, including O'Brien

Prime Minister Albin Kurti will attend this meeting, his office has announced through a communique for the media.

In the meeting, besides the leaders of the region, Gert Jan Kopmann, director-general of the European Commission's Economic and Enlargement Negotiations, will also be attended by Gert Jan Kopmann, US Assistant Secretary for Europe and Eurasia.

Representatives of regional organisations, the Regional Co-operation Council, CEFTA and the Western Balkan Oda Investment Forum, USAID, and several international financial institutions have been invited to attend that meeting.

Western Balkan leaders had recently gathered in December for the summit with the European Union.

In the declaration adopted at the end of this summit, it was called for all Western Balkan countries to impose sanctions on Russia and work to prevent the avoidance of restrictive measures Brussels imposed against Moscow in response to its aggression against Ukraine.
