Speaking at the Bled Strategic Forum, Orbán said Hungary had appointed experts to all Western Balkan capitals, as well as a special envoy responsible for issues concerning the region.
Orbán expressed regret that no Western Balkan country had joined the EU since Croatia’s accession in 2013 and described enlargement as “one of the most important foreign policy tools” available to the bloc.
While Europe’s geopolitical and economic significance has declined, its market remains “one of the most attractive components of integration,” she said.
Hungary continues to support merit-based accession, Orbán said, adding that several countries in the region were close to completing the requirements for membership.
She said she hoped Montenegro could conclude its accession talks before the end of this year.
