Ο Banksy τελείωσε την σειρά stencil με ζώα στο Λονδίνο με τον καλύτερο τρόπο
The letter published in Ta Nea in which ten former foreign ministers issue a plea to the EU to keep alive the European prospects of the countries of the Western Balkans should leave no one indifferent in the European Union.
The ten former foreign ministers including one from Greece and another from Germany state that blocking the start of accession negotiations with North Macedonia and Albania is a “strategic error”.
That is absolutely justified for a European region that has been described historically as the “tinderbox of Europe”.
It was nationalism in the various states, to which the region has often fallen victim and which lit the fuse of WW1 and led to the war in the former Yugoslavia, which was the last war in Europe.
Yet in all wars narrowly defined national interests, power plays, ambitions of dominance, and egotism played a role.
No one can be certain about which of the above led France, The Netherlands, and Denmark to block the beginning of accession negotiations with North Macedonia and Albania.
The leaders of these countries, especially France, must know that in the Balkans stability cannot be ensured and that there is a very real danger that Balkan countries will fall into the embrace of non-European countries.
Above all they must know that when there is a lack of peace and security in one region of Europe the same stands true for all of Europe.
