EU must unite entire continent: Zelensky

"Even though there is much political tension we must ensure that our unity in Europe remains as stable as possible," said Ukrainian President Volodymyr speaking in English.

The European Union must "unite the whole continent, all of Europe's democratic nations including your countries", Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday at a summit in Dubrovnik with Balkans leaders.

"Even though there is much political tension we must ensure that our unity in Europe remains as stable as possible," said Zelensky, speaking in English.

"If Europe is not united today it won't be peaceful, so that integration processes that have begun must reach their result."

Heads of state, premiers and foreign ministers from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Greece, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Turkey joined Zelensky and Croatia's Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic at the talks.

While Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Romania and Slovenia are EU members, the other nations are on different stages on their paths towards joining the bloc.

The gathering in the Adriatic resort of Dubrovnik is the third "Ukraine-Southeast Europe" summit.

It takes place while Ukraine pushes for more military aid as it struggles to repel Russian advances.

But a key meeting with international allies planned for Saturday has been postponed. US President Joe Biden called off his planned visit to Europe as millions were warned to leave their homes in Florida because of Hurricane Milton.

Zelensky has stepped up his efforts to rally backing from allies amid doubts about future US support after the November presidential election.
