(ANSA-AFP) - BELGRADE, OCT 16 - Leaders from the Western
Balkans and several European countries meet on Monday for an
annual summit in the Albanian capital Tirana, with few concrete
decisions expected amid heightened regional tensions. In recent
weeks, friction between Belgrade and Pristina has reached the
highest level in years, following the killing of a Kosovo police
officer and three Serb gunmen in clashes in the volatile north.
On the agenda at the meeting are discussions around a greater
convergence with the European Union and "supporting ecological
and digital transition" in the region. During the one-day
meeting, leaders are also expected to ratify an agreement on the
mutual recognition of professional qualifications, and announce
the opening of a College of Europe campus in Tirana. (ANSA-AFP).
