I hope so, since the summit was rather unique; there has not been a meeting of such nature over the past several years. Bulgaria's EU Presidency identified the integration of the Western Balkans into the European Union (EU) as one of its priorities, and it was only natural that Sofia organised such a summit. The very fact that it took place is a step forward and shows the EU's commitment. The gathering's goal was not to fix deadlines and concrete results. The general timeframe had already been laid out by the Commission's president, while concrete results, as it was pointed out, depend overwhelmingly on the countries themselves.
A senior North Korean official warned on 16 May that Pyongyang may cancel the summit meeting between Kim Jong-un and President Trump scheduled for 12 June in Singapore, if it is going to be pushed into giving up its nuclear arsenal.
