At the press conference held at the end of the talks, Austrian Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner emphasized that the Western Balkan countries must be supported at the European level, because the EU is not complete without the countries of South-Eastern Europe. She congratulated Bosnia-Herzegovina on starting accession negotiations with the EU. Austria's defense minister highlighted:
Regional cooperation and military-political dialogue are important for Austria and are essential for success. She added that in the interest of peace in Europe, the EU must be a strong partner for the Western Balkan countries.
Next year, Slovakia will take over CEDC’s rotating presidency. Slovakia greatly appreciates the Visegrad Group cooperation and the CEDC, and maintaining cooperation is in the country's interest, Slovak Deputy Defense Minister Martin Vojtasovic told the press conference. Security is at risk on several fronts, and therefore analysis, cooperation, coordination and exchange of information are essential, he pointed out, noting that the CEDC provides a platform to this end.
