He said that Slovenia expected the Commission to become more active with regard of enlargement to the Western Balkans.

Speaking of the last EU summit at which agreement was reached on the distribution of key posts in European institutions, Šarec said that it was about reaching a compromise on potential candidates.

“At this moment, I think the solution that has been agreed on is optimal,” said Šarec.
