“It was a pleasure to host the leaders of the Western Balkans for our traditional meeting in ANGA79”, Borrell wrote in a Facebook post.
He said that “the achievement of the malicious influence that undermines reform efforts in the region shows that we should co-operate even closer”.

The EU, in pre-launched communiqué, said this meeting was “a case for exchanging views on issues of common interest, beyond enlargement, on global security and stability issues”.

Borrell was quoted as saying that the Western “Balkan is an integral part of Europe's future and that “EU membership is within reach, provided key reforms are pursued with new focus”.
“Takim was an opportunity to remember the need to resolve existing bilateral disputes.

Leaders must make bold and strategic decisions to advance their European aspirations”, the communique says.
