“The Ukraine-Balkans Summit: a joint meeting with Balkan leaders, coordination of European and Euro-Atlantic integration, defence cooperation, security. Also, separate talks on bilateral issues. A meeting with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.

“Every day we add strength to our state, our soldiers and our cooperation with partners.”
