TIRANA, Dec. 21 -- The third regional meeting of the Western Balkans' leaders kicked off here on Saturday with a session, during which steps needed to accelerate regional cooperation were discussed.
The meeting brought together Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, President of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic, and Zoran Zaev, prime minister of North Macedonia.
The third regional meeting of the Western Balkans' leaders, or the so-called "Mini-Schengen" initiative, followed the previous meetings held in Serbia and North Macedonia.
Speaking at a joint press conference held by the four leaders, Rama expressed his conviction that this initiative is in full coherence with the ambition expressed by all countries and the commitment of each of them to become part of the European family, joining forces to accelerate the EU integration process, in order to create the standards that respond to the "four freedoms" in the EU, namely freedom of movement for people, goods, capital and services.
"This initiative is all-inclusive, open, there are no conditions, it is not imposed on anyone and it is not imposed by anyone. All the leaders of the Western Balkans are invited to attend these meetings," Rama said.
Western Balkan countries have the strength to implement the agreements reached, stressed Rama.
In his remarks, Djukanovic said that regional initiatives create excellent opportunities to refresh and improve trust between countries in the region and to contribute to the development of the region.
