He also warned of the risks that the Union could face if it did not send a 
clear signal to the region. 

"It is necessary to find a new consensus on opening accession negotiations with 
Albania and North Macedonia, to improve enlargement policy and to prepare the 
EU-Western Balkans Summit in May", Lajcak said. 

He spoke at the 2020 EU Strategic Choices Conference in the Western Balkans in 
Berlin. Lajcak stressed that it is important to understand that enlargement is 
a positive agenda, noting that recently he was under the impression that 
enlargement is being treated as a problem. 

Lajcak said the EU must demonstrate its influence in the Western Balkans 
region, TASS reports. 

"We often rely on communication strategies, but we seem to forget that people 
in the Western Balkans are reading the nuances of the signals we send," he 
concluded.
