Pahor je ponovio svoju podršku stremljenjima ka članstvu zemalja zapadnog Balkana, zapažajući da "njihovo približavanje EU nije važno samo za te zemlje, nego i za samu Uniju."
Pahor reiterated his support for the Western Balkan nations' membership aspirations, noting that their "moving closer to the EU is not only important for these countries but also for the Union itself."
