All the meetings tackled areas of potential boost of cooperation. In this regard, an emphasis was laid on the need to strengthen cooperation in the fields of economy, movement of people, rule of law, fight against corruption, visa liberalization and so on. President Sejdiu repeated his idea for the creation of a mini-Schengen zone that would enable the people of the region to move freely.
