Kaja Kallas visits the Western Balkans next week

The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, will visit several countries in the Western Balkans from April 7 to 9.

On her first visit to the region as head of European diplomacy, Kallas will stay in Montenegro, Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The EU announced that on the first day of her tour, in Montenegro, the senior European official will meet with President Jakov Milatović and Prime Minister Milojko Spajić. She will also meet with representatives of civil society.

Montenegro is the country that has advanced the most in the region on its path towards EU membership.

On April 8, in Albania, Kallas will have meetings with President Bajram Begaj and Prime Minister Edi Rama. With the latter, he will also hold a joint media conference.

In Albania, the head of European diplomacy will also meet with the Minister for Europe and European Affairs, Igli Hasani, and with the Minister of Defense, Pirro Vengu.

"She will participate in the first meeting of the EU-Albania Security and Defence Dialogue with Ministers Hasani and Vengu. Kallas will also participate in the signing ceremony of the European Investment Bank grant and loan agreements for the Durrës-Rrogozhina railway," the announcement says.

On the last stop of her visit to the Western Balkans, Kallas will stay in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where she will hold meetings with the heads of the Tripartite Presidency, the President of the Council of Ministers and the Foreign Minister of Bosnia, and representatives of the European force in Bosnia, EUFOR.

During her confirmation hearings as EU foreign policy chief, Kallas promised to work to make EU enlargement a reality.

All six Western Balkan countries - except Kosovo - as well as Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia and Turkey are candidates for EU membership.
