Balkans Region
U.S. policy toward the Balkans is focused on helping the states of the region cement peace and build stability and prosperity by deepening cooperation and advancing their integration into Euro-Atlantic institutions, including NATO and the EU. The Balkans region has made tremendous progress, moving from war to peace, from disintegration to cooperative development, and implementing democratic, economic and defense-related reforms on the path to a Euro-Atlantic future. The United States remains committed to an integrated, free and peaceful Europe.

Vice President Biden (May 19): "...the Obama-Biden administration will sustain and re-energize the long standing American commitment to a Europe that is whole, free, and at peace. The door is open for the countries of this region to be a part of that Europe--and the United States will help you to walk through that door."
