Heads of government from Western Balkan countries were also expected to take part in the meeting, Poland’s PAP news agency reported.

Topics up for discussion included EU enlargement and the post-2020 budget of the European Union.

Polish Foreign Minister Jacek Czaputowicz said this week that “Poland fully supports the European perspective of the Western Balkans.” He urged a prompt start of accession negotiations with Albania and North Macedonia.

In July, Polish leaders spoke out in favour of the EU expanding to admit Western Balkan countries as top figures from across Europe debated the region’s future at a summit in Poland's western city of Poznań.
