Summit Ukraine – Southeast Europe in Tirana: Strengthening Support and EU Aspirations

The Summit Ukraine – Southeast Europe, chaired by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the head of Albania, is taking place in Tirana on February 28th

This meeting, involving leaders from thirteen countries and the European Union, aims to bolster support for Ukraine amid Russian aggression and coordinate efforts with Balkan states that share Ukraine's aspiration for EU membership. Following discussions in Saudi Arabia on international backing for Ukraine's peace plan and prisoner exchanges, Zelenskyy's visit to Tirana underscores Albania's firm support for Ukraine. The summit seeks to reinforce Ukraine's journey towards Euro-Atlantic integration and advocate for a Global Peace Summit in Switzerland. While the region largely supports Ukraine, Serbia's stance remains cautious, highlighting the nuanced dynamics of international relations in the Balkans.
