    Europe today has no doubts about whether the Western Balkans belong in the EU, but it needs to be made clear that this process (of accession) depends primarily on the work that each of the six candidate countries does. Their progress is assessed on the basis of the reforms they implement and the individual achievements they accomplish, says Bulgarian Vice PM and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ekaterina Zaharieva.
