Minister Cavusoglu made mention of the region of the Western Balkans, and more specifically the escalating rhetoric in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Kosovo-Serbia problem. We shall make more efforts towards peace, he said and added that under President Recep Erdogan, Turkey had made the greatest amount of efforts for an end to the war in Ukraine.
