Slovenian President Borut Pahor said on Monday that the countries of the Western Balkans are at risk of instability due to the war in Ukraine and called for the early entry of Bosnia into the European Union and the NATO alliance, Reuters reported.

Pahor told the forum that Brussels should reach a consensus on integrating the Western Balkans and convince Serbia to choose the EU path instead of an alliance with China and Russia, which he said would benefit Bosnia and Kosovo.
