![]() "Undoubtedly, there is no alternative to a European future for the Balkan States. On the other hand, EU can also benefit from the Balkan enlargement and its 20-million strong market which can be a transit route to Asia for many European companies", Consul General Perin said. Moreover, she highlighted what had been done so far with EU assistance and called upon the EU not to forget, despite the internal problems it is going through, the region to which it is geographically, historically, culturally and economically linked. Consul General Perin emphasized Serbia's role as a factor of stability and reconciliation in the region and a State that stands ready to discuss all outstanding issues for the sake of a better future of its citizens and others in the region. |
