On the other hand, they expressed deep regrets about the European Council's failure to set a date for the opening the accession negotiations with North Macedonia and Albania.
Western Balkans leaders that met last night on a farewell dinner in Brussels, hosted by the EU High Representative for foreign and security policy, Federica Mogherini, agreed that the region’s integration into the bloc was in the common interest of the Western Balkans and the EU.
An statement from Mogherini's office, following the talks at a working dinner, said WB leaders exchanged opinions on the EU and Western Balkans relationship and the events developing in the region.
In this context, it has been discussed what has been jointly done and achieved in the last five years.
The challenges ahead of the region were also discussed.
"The Western Balkans partners reiterated their firm commitment to the EU membership perspective, the necessary reforms on that road, which are above all for the benefit of their citizens, as well as for the regional cooperation and good neighborly relations”, the statement said.
I then gather that they should listen to a goat herder such as yourself, but let’s correct you on a few issues so that you might know what you are talking about, but I can’t guarantee that as it all might go over your head.
Like all of your Albo bros you have no idea who or what was “Tokyo Rose”. For me to be a Tokyo Rose I would need to be pushing Serb propaganda on an Albo media site, and since you guys have only recently discovered electricity you don’t have one.
You see there were several Tokyo Roses during WW2 and they broadcast from Japan aiming their message to the US soldiers. Since I am not on any Albo media site but simply putting my views on a Serbian-based site I do not meet the definition of Tokyo Rose.
As far as crystal ball is concerned well let me know your views why the EU has commenced QE after a brief cessation in December 2018. I’ll let you into a secret. You don’t print money nor do you lower interest rates to below zero if everything is going great, but if you believe all that BS coming from Brussels or Washington and it makes you warm and fuzzy who am I to stop you getting that high while cleaning washroom or mopping up floors at your local mall.

Germany and other EU members will happily take undocumented migrants by the millions but not accept the Balkans. Strange but not surprising choice.

And Jana Petkova what was your comment anyway?
Assasining comment contributers is that it.
Haven't you strayed onto the strange territory? A bit lost.

Shame.it takes two to tango
EU is blowing hot and cold. Just like in any other bad relationship.But WB countries still cry a message of devotion.
This is going nowhere I recognize the signs.

The guy using two initials in the first comment sounds like a Tokyo Rose wanna be. Also, he acts as if he has a crystal ball. Ignore clowns such as him.

I'm neither sad nor angry about the dilemma. Since when does regret or frustration bless mankind?

Oh I'm sure they are... they will sell their countries' sovereignty and future for short-term economic gain. The EU is not a piggy bank which you can plunder and then expect to do what you like. Get ready to be controlled by Berlin via Brussels. A very nice prospect indeed.

Come on Federica tell them the truth instead of the usual BS line. Tell them the EU has no more money and does not need any more beggar states to support since Kosova is proving to be an immense financial mill stone around Brussels's neck.
Tell them the days of wine and roses are gone. Have a little dignity and try and be honest instead of the endless BS how the EU loves them and looking forward to them joining the club while they wait on the other side of the window with their noses pressed against it salivating as they see the EU as a bottomless cash cow; once in no one has to work a day any more.
Tell them Federica that at best the next to join the club will be in 2035 and that is if the economy improves, but it now looking more like 2040/45, and that’s if the economy improves and the EU is still around.
