Beyond the EU-27: perspectives of EU enlargement and European Neighborhood Policy
Following the 2007 accession of Bulgaria and Romania, the process of further EU enlargement became stalled, partly as a result of the global financial crisis. Croatia’s accession has been delayed until 2013 and the EU membership prospects of other Western Balkan countries and Turkey are highly uncertain, for various reasons. Furthermore, the list of potential EU candidates is not limited to South Eastern European countries (and Iceland) and may also involve, in the future, countries of the former Soviet Union like Moldova and Ukraine. The political and economic events in the CIS region in the last decade, as well as the recent political developments in North Africa and the Middle East, call for a deep review and general overhaul of EU policies towards these two regions. | |||
