Balkan leaders pledged Thursday to work together to prevent the return of ethnic violence that wracked the region in the 1990s.
The presidents of Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia and Serbia-Montenegro stressed the need for closer ties as they gathered in Tirana for a two-day summit on ethnic and religious tolerance.
Serbia-Montenegro President Svetozar Marovic said solving the status of Kosovo, which remains under U.N. administration, will be a major test for the Balkan countries as they aspire to integrate with their Western European neighbors.
