Negotiations, Germany calls on EU countries: To keep our promise
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock

European Union foreign ministers are discussing today, in addition to Russian aggression in Ukraine - the opening of negotiations for Albania and northern Macedonia. 

A document prepared for Monday's discussions says Russia's aggression has created significant changes in geopolitical alignments.

"More than ever, the Western Balkans are expected to be committed to European values ​​as future member states. "The EU must line up with its partners to uphold common values ​​and key international norms, and to condemn Russian aggression in Ukraine as a grave violation of international law and a threat to global peace and security," the statement said. .

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock in a statement to the media, said strongly that negotiations should be opened between Albania and Northern Macedonia, so that the first intergovernmental roundtable should begin, which is hindered by the Bulgarian veto on RMV. On the other hand, Baerbock given the war in Ukraine states that:

"Especially at this time, support for the Western Balkan countries on their path to the #EU is a key security and geopolitical issue. "We must keep our promises and start the delayed membership negotiations with Albania and Northern Macedonia."
