"Regional co-operation is a critical component within the SAP, essentially extending the EU's own philosophy to the Western Balkan region that deeper co-operation with neighbouring countries is a route to national as well as regional stability and growth and that such co-operation serves the mutual interests of all countries concerned," the EU said in a statement.
"Regionalna saradnja je izuzetno važna komponenta u PSP, koja na region zapadnog Balkana proširuje filozofiju EU da je dublja saradnja sa susednim zemljama put prema nacionalnoj, ali i regionalnoj stabilnosti i razvoju i da takva saradnja služi zajedničkim interesima svih zemalja koje u tom procesu učestvuju", stoji u jednom saopštenju EU.
