Historic Family Photo in Sunny Tivat: Europe and the Balkans Stand Together!
A sunny and historic moment in Tivat, Montenegro, as leaders gathered for the official family photo of the EU-Western Balkans Summit.
Against the beautiful Adriatic backdrop, EU leaders and Western Balkan partners stood together for a symbolic image of unity, dialogue and Europe’s shared future.
The summit, chaired by @eucopresident, President of the European Council, and hosted by @JakovMilatovic, President of Montenegro, focused on shared prosperity and stability between the European Union and the Western Balkans.
The family photo captured more than a diplomatic protocol moment. It reflected the renewed momentum behind EU enlargement, Montenegro’s central role in the process, and the message that the Western Balkans remain at the heart of Europe’s future.
- A bright day, a historic summit, and a powerful signal from Montenegro: the European future of the Western Balkans is alive.

God, Sex and the EU — Edi Rama Says Albania’s Membership Date Is Impossible to Predict!
Albanian Prime Minister @ediramaal brought humour and frustration together at the EU-Western Balkans Summit in Tivat, Montenegro, with a sharp joke about Albania’s long road to the European Union.
Asked when Albania could finally join the EU, Rama answered with one of the most memorable lines of the summit: there are three things you cannot predict — God, sex and the EU.
The joke captured a serious political reality. Albania and the Western Balkans have spent years waiting for a clearer and faster European path, while EU enlargement remains complex, slow and dependent on reforms, politics and Member State decisions.

France Stands With Romania: Macron Warns After Drone Incursions Near Ukraine!
French President @EmmanuelMacron delivered a strong message of solidarity with Romania during his doorstep at the EU-Western Balkans Summit in Tivat, Montenegro.
Speaking to journalists, Macron said the security of Europe is of “extremely great importance” for France. He recalled that just hours after the beginning of Russia’s war against Ukraine, France deployed troops to Romania at the request of Romanian authorities.

Macron stressed that France remains the framework nation for the security presence offered to Romania, and that Paris will continue to stand with Romanian authorities to protect the country’s sovereignty on land and in the air.
His remarks came after renewed security concerns on NATO’s eastern flank. A Russian-made drone recently crashed into a residential building in Galați, Romania, injuring civilians, while NATO Allies have been preparing to strengthen air defences along Romania’s border with Ukraine.
On the same day as the Tivat summit, a maritime drone exploded at the Romanian Black Sea port of Constanța, without casualties, after Romanian authorities secured the area.
Macron said France will adapt its position based on the threat assessment and Romania’s needs, including in response to drone incursions and provocations.
The message from Tivat was clear: France stands with Romania, NATO’s eastern flank is under close watch, and European security remains directly linked to Russia’s war against Ukraine.

EU Is Not Complete Without the Western Balkans, Von der Leyen Declares in Tivat!
European Commission President @vonderleyen delivered a powerful message at the opening of the EU-Western Balkans Summit in Tivat, Montenegro: the Western Balkans belong at the heart of the European Union.
Speaking in the Bay of Tivat, von der Leyen described the region as a place where people, languages and cultures have met for centuries. She said Tivat and the entire Western Balkans lie at the heart of Europe’s history — and their place is at the heart of the European Union.
Her message was direct: the EU is building a more independent, secure, resilient and complete Union — but it will not be complete without the Western Balkans.
The message from Tivat was clear: Europe’s future and the Western Balkans’ future are linked — and the next phase of enlargement must turn political promises into real progress.

Milatović’s Historic Message in Tivat: Montenegro Is Ready to Become the Next EU Member!
Montenegro’s President @JakovMilatovic opened the EU-Western Balkans Summit in Tivat, calling it a historic moment for Montenegro, the Western Balkans and the European Union.
Speaking before European and regional leaders, Milatović said it was a great honour for Montenegro to host the summit during its EU accession negotiations — especially in the year marking 20 years since Montenegro regained independence.
He said Tivat had brought together Europe and the Western Balkans around a common vision: a peaceful, prosperous and secure future within the European family.
Milatović said Montenegro is determined to complete its obligations, seize this historic opportunity and become the first next Member State of the European Union — contributing to a stronger, more secure and more united Western Balkans, and a more united Europe.

Tivat Shines as Balkan Leaders Arrive for EU-Western Balkans Summit!
General views of Tivat, Montenegro, set the scene as leaders gathered for the EU-Western Balkans Summit on 5 June 2026. With its Adriatic coastline, marina views and mountain backdrop, Tivat became the diplomatic stage for a major meeting between the European Union and the Western Balkans.

The summit was chaired by António Costa, President of the European Council, and hosted by Jakov Milatović, President of Montenegro. Its official theme was “Shared prosperity and stability of the EU and the Western Balkans.”
The meeting took place six months after the last summit in Brussels, reaffirming the strength of the EU’s relationship with the region. Leaders discussed the EU’s full and unequivocal commitment to the European future of the Western Balkans, the progress made in gradual integration, the Growth Plan for the Western Balkans, and stronger cooperation on security and defence.
The summit also highlighted Montenegro’s ambition to move closer to EU membership, with Tivat placing the country at the centre of Europe’s enlargement agenda. Reuters reported that Montenegro aims to become the EU’s next member, but still faces hurdles on rule of law, corruption and judiciary reform.
The message from Tivat was clear: the Western Balkans remain at the heart of Europe’s future — and the road ahead depends on reforms, regional cooperation, security and shared prosperity.

Dan and Tomac shook hands — but Romania’s crisis is not over.
President @NicusorDanRO has nominated his own adviser, Eugen Tomac as Prime Minister-designate.
Supporters call it a bold technocratic solution to break the political deadlock and keep Romania on its European, NATO and pro-US path.
Critics ask whether the President’s own adviser can truly be independent — and whether a government without a strong parliamentary base can survive.
Tomac promises “a technical government, not a political one.”
Now he has 10 days to prove it in Parliament.

Stability — or a deeper political crisis?

💧 Clean water is something many take for granted. For millions, it is still out of reach.

In Papua New Guinea, a new €25 million investment from the European Investment Bank, backed by the EU, will help bring safe drinking water to an additional 400,000 people. 🚰

Through Global Gateway, the EU is investing in long-term water and sanitation solutions that improve lives and strengthen communities.
