Slovenian President Borut Pahor emphasized the importance of the EU integrating the Western Balkans, in particular Bosnia-Herzegovina, as soon as possible to preserve peace and stability in Europe as he warned in a lecture in Vienna that the war in Ukraine revived “an outdated geopolitical mentality”.
The EU’s enlargement to the Western Balkans “is a geopolitical issue of the first order”, Pahor said, warning that the stalled enlargement process was reviving nationalisms and ideas of changing borders.
