German media have commented the visit of Merkel in Western Balkan,
adding that the EU appeal in these countries is fading mainly due to the
fact that no accessions will be allowed for the next five years.

The German media mention unemployment, corruption and poverty of being common in Serbia, Bosnia Herzegovina and Albania.

The Chairman of the EU Commission in the Bundestag, Gunther Krichbaum, says that Merkel’s visit in Balkan, considered for centuries as the gunpowder barrel of Europe, also aims to limit the Russian influence in Balkan.

“Countries will decide on their own. The values we respect in the EU make the difference with Russia and the government of Mr.Putin”, says Krichbaum.

Dusan reljic at the German Foundation for Political Science in Brussels says that Merkel will prove the importance of Balkan for Germany and the EU.

Deutsche Welle says that after the crisis in Greece, Balkan might turn into a troubled zone for investments.
