Image Dear Mr. Vucic, I have read with great interest your open letter where you share with us your great concerns about the future of the Balkans (which in that case means its former Yugoslavia part + Albania), and the lack of clear perspective currently given by the European Union and the local national leaders. You also directly question Newropeans both in terms of its policy regarding the Balkans and the possible expansion of Newropeans in the region.

First of all, let me tell you that Newropeans fully shares your concerns and regrets the lack of political ambition that the EU is showing regarding the Balkans. Meanwhile Newropeans is also very worried to see that the young generations from this region, who are deeply feeling that they do deserve to share the common future of the rest of European youth, are left without support facing nationalistic leaders and parties. The only thing the EU is doing yet is to show that it can replace militarily NATO to preserve the very instable peace of the region."
