The U.S. is keeping the national emergency for the Western Balkans going because some folks there are still causing trouble by breaking peace agreements, stirring up violence, and spreading corruption. This affects countries like North Macedonia, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Albania, and means certain U.S. sanctions and rules stay in place to protect peace and democracy.
