We have proposed to open negotiations with Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia to extend the EU’s 'Roam Like at Home' regime to these Western Balkan countries.

@SnowyCA @EUCommission Anytime anything is called regime in popular media, it's totalitarian or despotic.

@book Is it possible that you think of that based on your personal experience? (it's not my first go to.) When I read that word, I think of a plan for healthy eating and exercise, not politics.
