EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini says there are
two options for leaders in the Western Balkans - to target high or to do
nothing.

"If you are a political leader in a complicated country and a complicated region, you can choose to target high and achieve the best for your people and country, or to decide to wait for better times," Mogherini said.

Federica Mogherini, after the EU Stabilization and
Association Council meeting The Northern Macedonia called on all countries of
the Western Balkans region to find inspiration in Athens and Skopje.

"They have chosen the courageous visionary role of the
leader that has brought a historic result, I believe that this should be an
inspiration for everyone," Mogherini said.

Asked by Serbian News agency Tanjug about the EU
consultations with the international community in the process of re-launching
and possible finalization of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, the EU High
Representative said that the international community was closely monitoring
developments in the region.

"There is a lot of recognition in the international
community and the Security Council for the work we have done with the North
Macedonia and Greece, as well as the great expectation that this will be an inspiration
for the rest of the region," Mogherini said.
