North Macedonia’s President Stevo Pendarovski said in Davos on Tuesday that the Western Balkans are a vulnerable point in Europe’s security architecture.

A press release from the president’s cabinet quoted Pendarovski as singling out the Republika Srpska and Kosovo are the two most sensitive areas. “There are two sensitive points in the region – the Republika Srpska and the north of Kosovo where there have been efforts to undermine the integrity of those countries,” it quoted him as saying at a panel on the defense of Europe at the World Economic Forum.

Pendarovski added that NATO and the European Union should pay attention to the Western Balkans.
