The process of Western Balkans EU integration depends mainly on the domestic politicians and not on Brussels, EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule said.

Asked about the progress made by Western Balkan countries, Fule said that EU needs one’ country’s green light in order to start accession talks with Macedonia.

“I’m an optimist because a great progress has been made. Croatia is in its final phase with accession talks with EU. Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is waiting for one EU country’s approval to begin accession talks with EU”, EU Commissioner Fule said.

He said that EU integration of each country depends on the domestic politicians and not on Brussels.

“I would like to ask the citizens and the politicians of the aspirant-countries to think that the EU integration is in the hands of Brussels. The integration depends on the domestic actors”, Fule said.
