The summit is organized by the presidents of Slovenia and Croatia, Natasa Pirc Musar and Zoran Milanovic, and hosted by the president of Albania, Bajram Begaj.

"There were disagreements between Mrs. Osmani and me, I also informed them that the fastest railway in the region has been launched in Serbia," Vucic said in a live broadcast from Durres.

"Although numerous challenges await us, Serbia remains committed to the efforts to ensure that EU enlargement remains one of the priorities, and not a secondary topic," he stressed.

Vucic added that he expects that the Brdo-Brijuni Process will bring clear conclusions, since only honesty and consistency by all parties will provide it with permanent sustainability and the trust of the regional countries.

"I am convinced that the enlargement of the EU should remain clearly written in the agenda of the Western Balkans and that the open perspective of EU membership represent a strong driver of reforms, arrival of new investments and economic growth," he pointed out, and added:

"On that path, Serbia will always be a reliable and responsible partner to the EU."

He also referred to the stories about the war, which he previously stated were the main topic in the world, and that we should all prepare for it.

"Territorial integrity was discussed here, and here everyone interprets it as they like. Imagine when Osmani comes to you and talks about territorial integrity," Vucic said.

The meeting in Albania is attended by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Montenegrin President Jakov Milatovic, members of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Zeljka Cvijanovic, Denis Becirovic, and Zeljko Komsic, Macedonian President Gordana Siljanovska Davkova and President of Pristina's provisional institutions Vjosa Osmani.
