Another topic of crucial importance is enlargement. Stability, prosperity, peace, reconciliation, the rule of law are of crucial importance for all of us in the EU. The situation remains fragile in the Western Balkans. https://www.eudebates.tv/debates/eu-policies/enlargement-and-foreign-affairs/eu-modifies-accession-process-for-western-balkans/ The EU has to keep its promises and we have to live up to our commitments. Both Albania and North Macedonia already delivered, that's why the EU has to deliver right now. We have to start accession talks with Albania and North Macedonia as soon as possible and I hope that we can solve bilateral problems on the bilateral level, not just the EU level.
