EU enlargement in the Western Balkans is still on the agenda, but it is not going to happen "tomorrow", Portugal's Ambassador to Bulgaria Ana Maria Ribeiro da Silva said. At a discussion on the Portuguese Presidency of Council of the European Union, Ambassador da Silva explained: "EU enlargement is on the agenda, but encouraging signs must be given to the countries that have met the criteria."

"We are ready to work to reach a compromise," Bulgaria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Ekaterina Zaharieva said in return. "We hope that when the Covid-19 measures are lifted and the emotions are not that strong, because people in the Balkans are very emotional, the focus will be on constructive discussions," Minister Zaharieva said, quoted by dnevnik.bg.
