MEP Eduard Kukan commented on the political situation across the region, as he described the political crises in Albania and Macedonia as worrisome.
In an interview for EWB, Kukan said that the crisis might create problems for the democratic development.
“We are facing serious political crises in Macedonia and Albania. Other countries in the region, for instance Montenegro and Kosovo, are struggling with parliamentary boycotts. This seems to be a regional trend, which is counter-productive to the democratic development in the countries at the European doorstep. I hope the upcoming months will see a significant reversal in this trend. It is, after all, the first Copenhagen criterion and the most fundamental one”.- Kukan highlighted.
