Mogherini: Western Balkans' EU approximation a priority

BRUSSELS - EU foreign policy and security chief Federica Mogherini has said the Western Balkans' approximation to the EU would be one of the two priorities of her work in the period to come.

This is a matter of strategic interest to the EU and a finalisation of the idea of a united continent, she said at an annual conference of the Institute for Security Studies on the EU global strategy.
