While I do like this in principle. What little I know from living in a Balkan country myself is that it's going to be a messy and sad process.
Serbia is very much into Russia and Russian fossil fuels and that doesn't really track with EU stance on Russia.
Bosnia and Hercegovina is a broken explosive that hangs together with duct tape and prayers.
Kosovo's status is still contended and taking them in will cause problems with integration of Serbia.
Macedonia has a long-standing issues with Greece who will probably try to interfere with the process.
Then again, I still don't know why Croatia got accepted so what do I know.
A very generous idea indeed. Let us start practically by trying to include our next balkanic neighbours. To my knowledge It is the actual EU Foreign policy.And I totally support it. It is useless to point the differences; those countries need a serious economic and democratic push so why not helping them.
Conversation
All states in the EU should be democracies. And Russia, Belarus and Azerbaidjan are definitly not democracies. I don't think that this will change in a few years. There are rules for countries which want to be in the EU. So these countries can enter the EU when they want and comply with all of our elemantary rules (Democracy, independent justice, freedom of press, ... ). So we don't need a special program for including these states.
Very much agree on this point.
The truth is that EU is not ready for including more states, mainly because the decision methods inside the Council must be changed first (i.e. decision at the majority of people and states, a little bit like in Switzerland).
And, you are right, most of the Balkan states or "entities" are not yet ready too, for the reasons you report.
But we need to provide them a roadmap to include these states when they will comply with criteria and when EU will be ready, because leaving at the heart of Europe a "political no-mans' land" where influence of Russia, EU, China or US will fight is certainly not the best option.
That's a really bad idea.
Diese EU wird es in einigen Jahrzehnten nicht mehr geben. Zu groß sind die kulturellen, geschichtlichen und wirtschaftlichen Interessen. Alle Staatenbündnisse haben geschichtlich nur eine begrenzte Zeit überlebt. Staaten aufzunehmen um sie dann wirtschaftlich und finanziell aufzupeppen kann nicht Aufgabe der EU sein.
Egyetértek azzal, hogy az EU - a hozzászólásokban jelölt államokkal történő-, bővítése nem jó ötlet. Van elég gondja, baja a meglévő 27 állammal, egyes autokratikus hajlamú vezetőkkel, kilépést fontolgató és előkészítő miniszterelnökökkel, akik semmibe veszik az EU alapelveit. Velük sem tud mit kezdeni a jelenlegi felállás, a hozzászólásban megemlített államok valóban égő kanócú puskaporos hordók. Tegyük rendbe a belső dolgainkat, azután lehet gondolkodni és mérlegelni, hogy kell-e bővíteni.
Agree, Serbia should join to the European Union
Das wäre dann allerdings ein sehr langfristig angelegter Prozess der Angleichung des Rechtes. Es sollte daher auch für die Staaten, die am Fenster der EU sitzen geeignete Perspektiven geben. Wir müssen Europa modularisieren, um eine langfristige Transaktion hinzukriegen.
Klar ist, Krieg gegen Nachbarn, Terror und Diktatur darf es in Europa nicht geben. Darum ist der Balkan eben 20 Jahre zurück geworfen.
To join the European Union, the country needs to be democracy. The country needs to have stable government and sovereign judiciary system. Many of those countries doesn't fulfill those requirements. Also some countries don't even want to join the EU.
I disagree. We can't invite more countries into the EU and with them, their problems. It would simply weaken the institution created to help and therefore not do any good for anyone.
Instead, we should consolidate the EU internally and make changes to its structure as well as minimize obstructing differences, e.g., differences in living standards. Additionally, we can only offer these countries to accept the European ideas, meaning rules and priorities of values, and they reject that, they maybe don't belong into an ever closer union.
