Mr Szijjarto said that speeding up enlargement could enable the EU to overcome many difficulties and that inclusion of the West Balkans would make the EU stronger.
"It would be a bad choice for the European Union to circle its wagons. Instead, it needs to speed up the enlargement process to prevent itself from weakening and becoming less competitive", he explained.
