SEECP discusses partnerships in changed geopolitical relations in Europe

LJUBLJANA, April 14 (Xinhua) -- The Plenary Assembly of the South-East European Cooperation Process (SEECP) discussed here on Saturday the future of regional organisations, especially SEECP Plenary Assembly itself, in light of new geopolitical relations in Europe.

Delegations from SEECP members, including from Turkey, Serbia, Croatia and Macedonia, discussed the future of regional organisations as well as the European future of SEECP members that are not EU members yet, according to the Slovenian Press Agency STA.

Slovenian parliamentary Speaker Milan Brglez said before the partners that the SEECP Plenary Assembly was one of the most inclusive organisations as he acknowledged that SEECP had several issues, including finding a permanent seat for the organisation's secretariat.

At the end of the two-day session, delegations adopted a declaration which "welcomes the process of EU enlargement and NATO enlargement to the extent it is in the interest of participating countries", the STA reported citing Brglez.

Participants also adopted the agenda for 2018-2019 and reports that have been drafted by SEECP committees for economy, infrastructure and energy; for judiciary, interior affairs and security cooperation; and for social development, education, research and science. Enditem
