"europa" said : Remarks by President Donald Tusk on the European Council meeting of 9 March 2017

Today, leaders discussed the European economy with the President of the European Central Bank. The first thing I want to say is that I am really grateful for the trust the European Council have placed in me. Things are getting better, and they are getting better in every Member State of the Union. To the countries of the region, our message will be clear: "the European Union remains faithful to the promise of Thessaloniki and fully committed to the stability and prosperity of the region". I want leaders to reconfirm the European perspective for the Western Balkans.
