The International Relations Committee of the British Parliament has launched its inquiry into the UK and the Balkans.

Beta is reporting this on Tuesday, citing a statement published on the parliament's website that noted the inquiry would have "a particular focus on the UK's approach to the region beyond Brexit."

The announcement noted that "since the end of the conflicts of the 1990s, the Balkans has remained a region of instability on the borders of the EU - to date, most of the UK's policy towards the region has been tied up with the EU's."
