Civil society is essential for building trust between the EU & the Western Balkans. 🇪🇺

#EUEnlargement strengthens our security, economy, and democratic resilience. We held a conference to discuss the benefits of enlargement to citizens in the EU and in the Western Balkans. ↓

We meet for the second time in just six months.

At a time of growing geopolitical challenges, enlargement is a strategic investment.

In our shared stability, prosperity and security.

Europe’s Enlargement’s Bargain on Ukraine, Balkans, Risks Backfiring

Forget idealism—the multi-billion euro reason the EU wants the Western Balkans in the bloc.

Top EU chiefs are gathering in Tivat, Montenegro from this Thursday for the EU-Western Balkans summit.

But with the EU already struggling to manage 27 member states, why is Brussels pushing for enlargement right now?

RT by @EU_EESC: No successful #EUEnlargement without strong civil society.

That is the message I brought to Vienna today, opening the @EU_EESC EU-Western Balkans #CivilSociety High-Level Conference.

Enlargement is a geopolitical imperative -and citizens' trust is built bridge by bridge.
