TIRANA (Reuters) - Leaders of six Western Balkan countries told the European Union on Thursday they were becoming impatient with their long wait to join the bloc and needed EU funds to keep up reforms.
The prime ministers of Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Bosnia, Kosovo and Albania, all hoping to join the bloc, said their cooperation should be rewarded with projects like new road and rail links. They were meeting in Albania ahead of a fund-raising conference in Vienna in August.
