He said that the American Chamber supports the Open Balkan Initiative.

“Our talks also focused on the importance of the economic integration of the Western Balkan region, the creation of a common regional market, such as the initiative for the open Balkans, although Kosovo is currently reluctant to join. We as the American Economic Chamber support the Open Balkan initiative,” he said.
