Furthermore, President Begaj discussed with Mr. Cattler regarding the situation in the Western Balkan region, where despite the progress made, there are attempts by actors with geopolitical ambitions, to expand their influence and hinder the Euro-integration processes.

He also emphasized that the agreement reached for the normalisation of relations between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia is a positive step which should proceed with the achievement of concrete results.
