(ANSA) - BELGRADE, 05 LUG - The further path of the Western
Balkans towards European integration and stronger collaboration
between the countries of the region are the key themes of the
new regional summit scheduled for the afternoon as part of the
so-called Process Berlin, the initiative that the German
Chancellor Angela Merkel launched in 2014, to encourage the
Balkan region to bring the EU closer. The summit, which will
take place via videoconference, will be chaired by Merkel, who
in recent days hold separate meetings online with the leaders of
the region. Among the key themes of the summit is the creation
of a common regional market in the Western Balkans, which
inspired the initiative called 'little Schengen' that Serbia,
Albania, and North Macedonia launched two years ago. (ANSA).
