The EU is the biggest donor in the Western Balkans with € 29.5 billion, provides 61% of all FDI and
70% of total trade.
This is an offer for the WBs citizens, that nobody can match.
EU membership is a strong anti-dote to instability and malign external influence.

We support:
- Households on prices rise
- Resilience to hybrid threats & cyber-attacks
- stepping up defence capabilities
- Full demining of BiH.
Belgrade and Pristina have an opportunity to advance on full normalisation of relations. Let’s use it.

Good to meet with PM @DKovachevski in the margins of the #EUWBSummit.
We discussed importance of advancing necessary reforms on rule of law and judiciary and accelerate accession talks. We agreed to hold upcoming Stabilisation & Association Council in North Macedonia.

Happy to be back in Tirana!
This is the first ever EU—Western Balkans Summit taking place in the region.
It is an opportunity to reconfirm the strategic partnership between the EU and the #WB, a region with a clear #EU membership perspective.

Heureux d'être intervenu devant @DelorsInstitute présidé par @EnricoLetta sur
"penser l'Europe dans les tempêtes".
Face à ces tempêtes, nous avons déjà brisé de nombreux tabous.
L'Europe doit continuer à apprendre à parler "le langage de la puissance".
RT @DelorsInstitute: 🇪🇺 [#Europe] Nous sommes ravis d’accueillir @JosepBorrellF pour échanger sur l’Europe dans les tempêtes en clôture de cette riche journée en discussions européennes!

The @OSCE Ministerial Council, a public event with my colleague @DmytroKuleba on Russia’s accountability, a visit to the new #EUMAMUkraine mission to train Ukrainian soldiers: my trip to Poland last week featured EU’s determination to support #Ukraine:

Its logo puts together the colours of Ukraine and the European Union. Because we have a common future.
I thank Poland for the big effort that the Polish Army and the Polish kpeople are doing for this Mission and for Ukraine.
Слава Україні!

Today, #EUMAM has reached its full initial operational capability.
1,100 soldiers are already being trained.
The Mission will generate training offers to address Ukrainian needs and we are going to provide resources: €16 million for lethal equipment for training purposes.

The EU Military Assistance Mission for Ukraine is proof of our determination to support Ukraine: militarily, financially, economically & politically.
This Mission is unprecedented, pushing EU military cooperation to new levels. Over 20 Member States participate in it.

The Ukrainian army is one of the best in the world. They have proven to be.
Ukraine is resisting, fighting off the Russian aggression, which is trying to cruelly push the country into darkness and cold.
Humbled by the courageous soldiers and their will to defend their people.

Humbled by my exchange with the Ukrainian troops and full of admiration for their bravery & determination.
Words and applause are not enough. We must continue providing them with the means to continue their fight against Russia.
Through #EUMAM & #EPF, we will continue to do so.

I witnessed at the training site of our Military Assistance Mission #EUMAM only 15 days after its launch an impressive specialised program on combat engineering and demining for Ukrainian troops, who bravely defend their nation.
The EU stands behind #Ukraine and is delivering.

I am visiting today a training site of our new EU training mission for Ukrainian soldiers #EUMAM.
I will meet the first group of trainees of a total of 15,000 soldiers that will be trained by EUMAM
Grateful to Poland for hosting a significant part of the training on polish soil

Excellent exchange with @mblaszczak. I thank Poland for its crucial role as #EUMAM host & largest provider of military supplies to Ukraine under the European Peace Facility.
With Poland's support, the EU will continue to assist Ukraine in every way we can, for as long as it takes

Had the opportunity to assure my friend @Bujar_O of the EU's full support for North Macedonia's incoming @OSCE Chairmanship. You are assuming the helm of the organisation in difficult times, count on EU's continued contribution in advancing peace and stability in the OSCE area.

Discussed with Armenia FM @AraratMirzoyan ways to advance on peace building and sustainable conflict settlement in the region.
The EU remains committed to closely supporting both Armenia and Azerbaijan towards the normalisation of their relations.

Discussed regional challenges with Azerbaijan’s FM @Bayramov_Jeyhun. Underscored EU’s commitment to facilitate peace talks and confidence building in the South Caucasus. Counting on Azerbaijan’s cooperation to continue efforts towards peace building and regional prosperity.

The @OSCE institutions and operations continue their efforts to bring stability in this grim environment. The EU will continue its steadfast support to the organisation.
We will provide €1.2 million for OSCE demining activities in Ukraine.
Thanks to @PLinOSCE for their work.

Russia has brought war back to Europe. It is throwing Ukraine into cold & darkness, and beyond its brutal attack on Ukraine and it’s people continues its deeply destabilising role in Georgia’s breakaway regions and Transnistrian region of Moldova. We need to be united against it.
