Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel have today opened a summit in Berlin dedicated to the Western Balkans.
The French president and the German Chancellor urged Serbia and Kosovo to resume their dialogue ahead of any step in their possible entry into the EU, the French press reported.
"We will talk about how to support the rapprochement between Serbia and Kosovo so as not to allow the problems to become even more irreparable than they are now ... Customs are not a step in the right direction, that's the least we can say "said Merkel.
"We organized this joint initiative because we are advocates of the European perspective for the Western Balkan countries, but I want to say very clearly that today we can not talk about accession talks," the Chancellor added.
