European Western Balkans: How do you see the successes of the Berlin Process so far?
Johannes Hahn: When in August 2014 Chancellor Merkel brought leaders to Berlin to discuss regional co-operation, the idea was – and still is – to revitalize ties between the ‘Western Balkans six’ and the EU and its member states. Much has been achieved under this process under successive chairs, including the development of a comprehensive EU-Western Balkans connectivity agenda that covers transport and energy, the economy, people to people contacts and now also digital technologies.
