Sławek Szefs reports this has been one of the main conclusions from the meeting of 15 European foreign ministers held in Warsaw, on Tuesday.
Federica Mogherini, the EU’s foreign affairs chief, also took part in the discussions.
Slovakian Foreign minister Miroslav Lajčák said that V4 members are ready to assist the six aspiring western Balkan countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia), with all experience collected on their respective roads to the European Union.
“Visegrad-Group Countries have a unique position, [and we are] offering western Balkan states our own know-how gained in a successful transformation process,” Lajčák said.
