"I am pleased that the European Commission, in its strategy for the years 2010 and 2011, yesterday confirmed that a policy of expansion is the best strategy for the Western Balkan region. It also confirmed that it would continue to fulfil its commitments to the region, on the understanding that the countries of the region would boost their efforts in the integration process. I would like to applaud some of the positive steps over the previous year, for example, the ending of the visa regime for most of the inhabitants of the region, the progress of Montenegro, which has been awarded with a proposal for candidate country status, and the progress in the talks between the European Union and Serbia, which has been recommended for an avis. However, challenges remain and they will have to be confronted. Among them are the commencement of dialogue between Serbia and Kosovo – which is expected to bring more stability to the region, and a solution as soon as possible to the issue of the name of Macedonia – a process that has already been in progress for a very long time, the question of agreeing on a vision or a new approach with regard to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the start of visa liberalisation with Kosovo. In all of these questions, it is necessary to have a clear strategy and vision that will make it possible for this region to draw closer to the European Union. This is not only in their interest, but in ours as well."@en1
