Leaders of the European Union will confirm their commitment to support the Western Balkans at their summit in Sofia and expect greater commitment to democracy and the rule of law, the Serbian state TV (RTS) said.
The RTS said that it was given access to the draft resolution to be adopted at the European Union – Western Balkans summit in the Bulgarian capital Sofia next month.
The draft resolution says that the EU will support the countries of the region on their European path and step up its engagement at all levels to transform the region politically and economically, including greater financial and technical aid depending on the progress of the Balkan countries, the RTS said.

The EU expects the countries of the region to make democracy and the rule of law their priorities and resolve disputes from the past in a definitive and obliging manner.
The RTS said that the declaration will be signed only by EU member states because of Spain’s opposition which means that this will not be a joint declaration by the EU and Western Balkans leaders as originally planned.
The RTS said that Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy will not attend the summit and added that there are doubts about the presence of Cyprus.
