"Together with international partners, the United Kingdom is working to combat threats in order to stabilize the situation, to maintain the progress made in the last 26 years," the statement said.
The meeting in London will be attended by the foreign ministers of Albania, BiH, Kosovo, northern Macedonia, Serbia-Montenegro, as well as representatives of the United States and the EU. According to a statement from the British Ministry, the current situation in the Balkans was also discussed over the weekend by the heads of the foreign ministries of the G-7 countries in Liverpool.
