Kosovo, Albania Give 'Common Market' Call Thumbs Down (Balkan Insight)
Kosovo's Prime Minister has dismissed calls for a Western Balkan 'common market' as a pointless diversion from the goal of EU membership - while an important union in Albania has reached the same conclusion.
EU Commissioner for Enlargement Johannes Hahn's support for the creation of a common market in the Western Balkans, raised during the recent summit of six leaders in Sarajevo, has drawn little enthusiasm in Kosovo and Albania.
In his speech in Sarajevo on March 16 directed to Western Balkan countries, Hahn put the focus on the need to develop regional cooperation and create a single market space in the six countries.
