#WeRemember 🕯️
RT @vonderleyen: We will always remember the millions of victims murdered during the Holocaust.
But remembrance is not an aim in itself.
We must go a step further.
Let us fight antisemitism, which is on the rise today.
And let us make Jewish life prosper in an open, equal EU society.

#Trieste is not only a gate to the Western Balkans, it is also a gate to Central Europe.
🇮🇹 #Italy is already a key partner in the #WesternBalkans. However, we could do much more together, to speed up the integration of the WB6.
