TIRANA, October 17/ATA/- Western Balkans are not Europe’s backyard. France’s President Emmanuel Macron should rethink his stance, the French-language daily Belgian newspaper “Le Soir” writes.
“Paris is calling for a reform of the enlargement process before it says ‘yes’ to the two candidate states, Albania and North Macedonia. That’s nothing new and there are good reasons for this.This question will be discussed at the summit.
President Macron, who wants to be Europe’s leader, can still rectify his stance. Will it take a new explosion of violence in the Balkans for people to remember that these countries aren’t in Europe’s backyard, they are a room in the house?” the paper says. //a.i/
