The Means Of Destruction
28 November 2023
The EU accession of the Western Balkans has gained new momentum following Russia’s aggression and the granting of EU membership candidate status to Ukraine.
The idea of accelerating the process in favour of the Western Balkan (WB) countries, plus Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia, has been a part of the political discussions concerned with the need for the EU to reaffirm its foreign policy role in the new situation. Not to replace the enlargement process, the European Political Community appeared as a new platform that creates more space for cooperation with the WB countries.
Central European Aid
Central European countries have consistently expressed support for EU integration of the Western Balkans, yet there is much to be done.
The Czech EU Presidency has achieved some progress on long-lasting issues but failed to engage the region in a more unified voice regarding the accession process. The question is if formats like the Visegrád group (V4) can play a meaningful role since the war in Ukraine has dealt a blow to the platform. Alternatively, other Central European formats can offer concrete forms of support for the WB.
