德国总理弗里德里希·默茨周四表示，“暴力绝不能成为选项”，无论是在欧盟还是在西巴尔干地区。他在黑山举行的峰会上与地区领导人会晤时作出上述表态。
在开幕致辞中，默茨重申德国坚定支持西巴尔干国家的欧盟入盟申请，但强调该地区政府必须展现政治意愿并实施必要改革。
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Thursday that “violence must never be an option” in the EU or the Western Balkans, as he joined regional leaders at a summit in Montenegro. In his opening remarks, Merz reiterated Germany’s strong support for the EU membership bids of the Western Balkan countries but underlined that governments in the region must demonstrate political will and implement the required reforms.
“我们都看到了该地区各地以及我们国家发生的抗议活动，亲爱的同事们，这些抗议向我们传递了明确信息，”默茨在领导人和高级官员聚会上说。“我们必须继续推进扩大进程，并确保我们的公民从中受益。”总理强调，暴力在民主制度中没有立足之地，并警告社会两极分化。
“We all see the protests around the region, across the region and in our countries, and these protests, dear colleagues, give us a clear message,” Merz said at the gathering of leaders and top officials. “We have to continue with the enlargement process and we have to make sure that our citizens benefit from it.”The chancellor stressed that violence has no place in democracies and warned against polarization in societies.
“当我们面对欧盟或这里地区的抗议时，任何一方都绝不能将暴力作为选项，”他说。“分裂性言论或日益加剧的两极分化不会带来更安全、更自由、更繁荣的欧洲，历史不会善待那些在这些复杂时代制造分裂的人。”
“When we are faced with protests in the EU or here in the region, violence must never be an option by either side,” he said. “Divisive rhetoric or growing polarization will not lead to a safer, freer, and more prosperous Europe, and history will not look kindly at those who divide in these complex times.”
黑山周四在布德瓦主办“柏林进程”领导人峰会。该倡议由德国于2014年发起，汇集六个西巴尔干国家——阿尔巴尼亚、波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那、科索沃、黑山、北马其顿和塞尔维亚——以及欧盟伙伴，旨在加强区域合作、经济联系和通往欧盟成员国的道路。
Montenegro is hosting the Berlin Process Leaders’ Summit on Thursday in Budva. The initiative, launched by Germany in 2014, brings together the six Western Balkan countries—Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia—along with EU partners to strengthen regional cooperation, economic ties, and the path toward European Union membership.
