Expanding to the Western Balkans(*) is once again one of the EU's priorities, European Council President António Costa told Euronews in an interview. He begins a tour of the region on Tuesday.

President of the European Council António Costa has sought to reassure EU candidate countries in the Western Balkans by saying that the continent's future stability and prosperity depends on the enlargement of the bloc.
