The European Council announced
that the leaders of the EU and the Western Balkans will meet in
Brussels on December 13, one year after the Tirana summit in
2022. "The summit is an opportunity to reaffirm the Western
Balkans' EU membership perspective, as well as the need for
partners' sustained and irreversible reform achievements,
underpinned by EU values and principles," said the Council.
The main topics of discussion will be deepening political and
policy engagement with the Western Balkans, bringing Western
Balkans partners closer to the EU and advancing gradual
integration, laying a future economic foundation and mitigating
the impact of Russia's aggression against Ukraine, reinforcing
security, and building resilience. At the end of the summit,
leaders are expected to issue a declaration.
