Parliamentary delegations are created/ the EP aims to push the Balkan countries
European Parliament

The European Parliament is continuing the procedures of establishing commissions, delegations and other structures that are necessary for its work.

The new EP mandate started in the summer, after the last European elections that were held in June.

As part of the constitution process, parliamentary delegations have already been created for relations with countries outside the EU, with which there is a framework for cooperation.

During the month of September, the process of establishing the relevant delegations for relations with the countries of the Western Balkan region was completed.

These delegations will also be responsible for cooperation with the countries of this region - Kosovo, Albania, Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina - within the framework of the joint structures provided for by the Stabilization and Association Agreements (SAA).

They consist of the EP delegation for relations with the respective country on the one hand and the deputies from the national parliament of that country on the other.

The role of these delegations is to discuss the fulfillment of obligations from both sides, as well as the country's advancement towards EU integration.

The European Parliament has always been a strong supporter of the advancement of the countries of the Western Balkans towards the EU. He expressed this in the joint statements of the inter-parliamentary delegations, but also in the reports and resolutions approved by him.

Although there have been some changes in the composition of the European Parliament in this term, as the number of deputies from far-right parties has increased, most of the current deputies are convinced that there will be no reduction in support for the enlargement process nor for the countries of the Western Balkan region.

There has been a great interest of MPs to become members of these delegations, as well as for leadership positions in them./ CNA
