“In the afternoon there was a special summit with the leaders of the Western Balkans. The prime ministers of Montenegro and Albania came to Kyiv, and the prime minister of Northern Macedonia was with us via video. “I am grateful to Mr. Rama, Mr. Abazović, and Mr. Kovačevski for adopting a joint statement following our talks in support of granting Ukraine the status of a candidate for membership in the European Union.”

“Our countries – Ukraine, the Republic of Albania, Montenegro, the Republic of North Macedonia – must become full-fledged members of the European Union. We agree that our countries are not competitors on this European path, but only complement and strengthen each other’s capabilities,” the President of Ukraine added.

He stressed that reinforcing the unified positions on the continent, enhancing coordination between European countries, and overcoming differences between the so-called “old” and “new” members of the European Union should become the response to Russia’s anti-European policy.
