The European Union’s top diplomat Josep Borrell said on Monday that today’s meeting with Western Balkan foreign ministers is meant to show the importance of the region and its accession to the European Union.

The EU High Representative recalled that the Western Balkan foreign ministers will attend Monday’s Foreign Affairs Council meeting to discuss the situation in the region which he said is very much affected by an economic crisis.

The Foreign Ministers are scheduled to have a working lunch with the EU counterparts.
