Lajcak: European perspective must be brought closer to WB

BRATISLAVA - Bringing the EU perspective closer to the Western Balkans would reduce the nationalist rhetoric there, says Slovak FM Miroslav Lajcak.

The enlargement process has "slowed down - the reasons for that were internal issues that the EU was challenged with and had to deal with - first the economic crisis, then the migration crisis. Enlargement continues to be one of the major policies of the EU," he told EuropeanWesternBalkans.com.
