The EU Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations, Johannes Hahn, said in a press conference delivered through video link that the goal of the European Union is to have all Western Balkans countries join in but added that the accession pace will depend entirely on the countries themselves. “Normalisation of relations between Belgrade and Pristina cannot be achieved in a day and there are delays in that process,” said Hahn stressing that “it is our duty to be patient but also ambitious.” He said that the political stalemate in Kosovo, as a result of the opposition blockade, is hindering progress while the signing of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) is a historic development in Kosovo’s European perspective.
