Home | News & Events | Remarks by Ambassador Yuri Kim at Tirana Economic Forum
I want to begin by thanking the organizers of the Tirana Economic Forum for having me here today. I am delighted to be joined on the panel by Thanos Dokos and my good friends Fabrizio and Peter to discuss regional stability and cooperation in the Balkans.
Let’s start with what I believe is our shared core belief: A stronger Western Balkans region means a stronger Europe and a stronger Transatlantic partnership. A region at peace and integrated with itself and its EU neighbors will allow foreign investors to see the region as a place of stability and opportunity. A place where greater economic integration and the free movement of goods, services, capital, and people will enable people, industries, and countries to have prosperity, stability, and greater opportunity.
“The truth was always the inverse. It is the EU that needs us and our markets.”

“We should have marshalled this negotiating strength and driven a tougher bargain for ourselves.
