The future of the Western Balkans is in the European Union. It is the most important geopolitical investment we can do.
In these uncertain times, more than ever, we need to work together.
I am looking forward to our EU-#WesternBalkans summit on 18 December in Brussels.

I just spoke to Petteri Orpo.
Finland, alongside 🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹🇵🇱🇳🇴, is bravely keeping our borders safe from threats of all forms coming from Russia and Belarus.
They are securing our common borders.
So today we’re making available €170 million to support their efforts.

Bulgaria and Romania belong fully to the Schengen area.
Removing internal controls at land borders is the last hurdle.
I welcome the positive outcome of informal discussions in Budapest today.
The Council’s formal decision is next.
Let 2025 see Schengen become stronger.
