Quote: "The Balkans remember what happened there, as well as Europe. Ukraine’s resistance to Russian aggression is yet another guarantee of your continued stability. If Russia achieves its goal and defeats Ukraine, without a doubt, new regimes similar to the Moscow one will emerge.

Moreover, the Moscow regime will continue its attempts to destabilise the Baltic region and the Balkans. We must ensure that Russia loses the strength to carry on this aggression and no longer threatens other countries."
