(Western) Balkans as an integrative part of Europe – the EU integration is unfinished; (non-EU) Balkan countries need unconditional support in their EU accession processes.
Celebrating European values and the (comm)unity of the European peoples and cultures - a message to the anti-EU movements: Europe is strong, united and it will not give up on the its principles and values our founding mothers and fathers fought for.
TIME TO WIN THE FIGHT!
