Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic has called on the EU to open accession talks with North Macedonia and Albania as soon as possible saying that that was important for the entire Western Balkans.
"Serbia supports and pleas with the EU and EU member-states to bring a positive decision on opening negotiations with Albania and North Macedonia because we feel that this is important to the entire region, that they have earned it and that a different decision would be negative for the entire region," Brnabic said at a SEECP summit in Jahorina near Sarajevo.
She voiced Serbia's "full and unreserved" support for the European integration of its neighbors.
Speaking on economic cooperation in the region, Brnabic enumerated a string of positive things and especially infrastructure projects both finished and planned highways, but also mentioned Kosovo's 100 percent tariffs on goods from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
According to her, there are political implications that slow down infrastructure projects important to people's lives such as a bridge over Ljubovija and Bratunac which people do not use because the appropriate decision on opening border crossings has not been reached.
