She also informed that during the meeting they also discussed next year's Polish presidency of the Council of the European Union.

– I am glad that Poland, like Slovenia, supports the expansion of the European Union to include the countries of the Eastern Balkans and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

However, he assured that after the meeting he was convinced that there were “no serious controversial issues” between the countries.
