W.Balkans: Tusk spurs EU to care about region development
EU Council President wrote to EU leaders ahead Sofia's summit
15 May, 19:10The main focus of the agenda is connectivity within the Western Balkans and between the region and the EU. "Investing in infrastructural and human connections with and within the Western Balkans region is in the EU's best interest. And the objective of our summit is to prove it," Tusk pointed out in his letter. The European Council President is also "convinced that the EU is the only partner that cares genuinely about the stability of the entire region and a prosperous future for its peoples - as opposed to treating it as a geopolitical game of chess, in which the people are pawns." The European perspective for the Western Balkans "should remain a firm commitment on both sides," Tusk underlined.(ANSA).
