(ANSA) - BELGRADE, July 26 - European Commissioner for Enlargement Johannes Hahn said in Belgrade today that the dialogue between Belgrade and Priština is a key element for further progress throughout the region and underlined the need to find a 'lasting' solution. After meeting PM Ana Brnabic in a joint press conference, Hahn said that the European Commission, under the presidency of Jean-Claude Juncker, was strongly committed to the region. Hahn mentioned an agreement to reduce roaming costs as an example of the progress already made. The commissioner said that he discussed with the premier numerous topics, remarking that democracy and the rule of law are fundamental rights. Speaking about the region, he underlined that significant progress had been made with North Macedonia and expressed his conviction that member countries will give the green light in October to Skopje and Tirana to start accession negotiations. Along with the prime minister, Hahn will attend the Youth Sports Games. "This private initiative is a good example of success because it brings together young people from all corners of the region. These young athletes take part in one of the world's biggest competitions, either in individual or team sports," he said. "I am among the ambassadors of this initiative and I strongly support it, and I am hoping that next year North Macedonia will also be included," Hahn explained. (ANSA).
