Slovenia: EU and NATO must support Western Balkans membership

Slovenian President Borut Pahor said today that Western Balkan countries are at risk of destabilization due to the war in Ukraine and called for Bosnia’s swift accession to the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Speaking at a conference, Pahor said Brussels must reach an agreement with the Western Balkans and should persuade Serbia to choose the EU path over its alliance with China and Russia, a move which he said , will benefit Bosnia and Kosovo.

“We don’t want another Iron Curtain in Europe,” Slovenian Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon also told the Strategic Conference in Bled, Slovenia, saying a decades-long process to unify Europe was stalled by the conflict in Ukraine and many European countries lacked the ability to deal with the effects of this crisis.
