    It was the last stop of the German politician's two-day visit to the Balkans, which included Albania and Serbia as the three countries seek to entry the European Union.
    Merkel is set to hold a meeting to discuss on further economic and social reforms that could speed up the country's EU membership.
    The German leader will later attend a ceremony to pay homage to victims of Bosnia's 1995 Srebrenica massacre preview to the official 20th anniversary ceremony of Europe's worst genocide after World War II, which will be held on July 11.
