Slovenia’s EU presidency will host an EU-Western Balkans summit in early October and its desire is to make these summits a regular annual event as a means of accelerating the EU enlargement process, Foreign Minister Anže Logar said.

Such regular summits would represent “an important type of pressure” on countries in the region to achieve headway in accession, while at the same time putting the onus on the EU to make significant steps, Logar told the press at the Bled Strategic Forum. He noted the high-level participation in this year’s forum had set a new benchmark and showed how joint efforts could be leveraged to further affirm Slovenia in the international arena.
