During the EU Meets the Balkans forum in Sofia, EU Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement, Olivér Várhelyi, called for speeding up the integration process in the Western Balkans.

The Commissioner added that economic disparities between the EU and the Western Balkans were one of the main challenges that must be addressed.
