TIRANA, Oct 16 - The European Union wants to bring six Western Balkan countries closer to membership of the bloc but wants them first to implement reform and create their own single market, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Monday.
"We really have to tap into the potential ... in the Western Balkans and get it closer to the European single market," she told a news conference in the Albanian capital. "These reforms will be accompanied by funding for investment from the EU, if they take place," she said. Scholtz said the Berlin Process was"the best instrument" to speed up the integration of Western Balkan countries.
