(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, NOV 19 - "The European Union is only
complete when the Western Balkans countries are part of the EU,
that's why we support them on their way to EU and we have a
special focus on the region during our EU presidency", Austrian
Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said today opening the Western
Balkans' summit in Vienna.
Before the summit, Kurz received the Heads of government of the six Balkan countries at the Federal Chancellery. "We know that stability in Europe is pretty much dependent on stability and security in the Western Balkans," Kurz added. The chancellor also explained that at today's meeting the focus is "on three important issues: the region's path towards the EU, the necessary regional cooperation and the resolution of bilateral conflicts".
