EU support for new corona measures in western Balkans
The EU = European Union has decided to strengthen its support for new coronavirus measures to countries in the western Balkans. It seems that there is an aim to control China and Russia, which are rapidly increasing their presence by providing assistance to this region.
On the 6th, the EU held a videophone summit with six countries in the western Balkans, including Serbia, which are aiming for accession.
The EU has contributed a total of 3.3 billion euros to the new coronavirus countermeasures and over 380 billion yen in Japanese yen, but has decided to further strengthen its support by providing medical supplies.
Although accession negotiations have already begun between the EU and some countries in the western Balkans, no significant progress has been made and Serbia has expressed strong dissatisfaction with insufficient support for anti-virus measures.
During this time, China and Russia have been increasing their presence by sending masks and sending medical teams to Serbia and other countries.
EU Chairman Von de Alien said in a press conference that "the summit is proof that the countries of the western Balkans are a member of the EU and is undisputed," strongly restrains China and Russia, and continues. He showed his intention to be actively involved in the area.
