The European Union shares the concern of the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, that Russia may try to incite conflicts in the Western Balkans region. This was said by the spokesperson of the EU for foreign policy and security issues, Peter Stano, answering the question that the EU shares the concern expressed by Zelensky that Russia will try to provoke conflicts in the Western Balkans region. .
"For a long time we have said that Russia is making efforts to exert malignant influence in the Western Balkans region as well. So yes, this is a concern that we share, and this is not a new concern, but a concern that has been with us for a while. At this point, we agree with the president of Ukraine and we know that Russia is doing everything it can to sow discontent, political instability, foreign influence, manipulation of information and others", said the EU spokesperson, Peter Stano.
He added that precisely for this reason, the EU has increased the help for partners in the countries of the Western Balkans to face these threats
