Greece and Western Balkan Friends Group Urge EU Expansion Amid Security Concerns
A coalition of countries, including Greece, has sent a letter to Brussels urging the acceleration of the European Union’s expansion process, particularly concerning the Western Balkans. The letter emphasizes the importance of EU enlargement for stability amid ongoing security challenges, highlighted by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Greece remains a strong advocate for this process, provided that core principles of rule of law and international agreements are adhered to by candidate countries like Albania and North Macedonia. The discussions will be prominently featured during an upcoming high-level meeting.
