EPC Meeting: UK PM Starmer on Russian Threat in Western Balkans

At the opening plenary session of the European Political Community (EPC) meeting, on Thursday, the host, UK PM Keir Starmer, said there was a Russian threat concerning Balkans.

“Our first task here today is to confirm our steadfast support for Ukraine. To unite once again behind those values that we cherish. And to say we will face down aggression on this continent together. Because the threat from Russia reaches right across Europe.

Many of us have seen attacks on our own democracy. People targeted on our streets. Military planes entering our airspace. Ships patrolling our coastlines. And in Moldova and the Western Balkans, the threat is obviously even more acute,” he stated.
