Mercov plan za proširenje otvara nova pitanja

A proposal suggests granting Ukraine associate membership while gradually integrating the Western Balkans. This dual approach aims to revitalize the enlargement process for both regions. However, it raises concerns about potentially unequal treatment among candidate countries. The plan seeks to balance the urgency of Ukraine's situation with the long-standing accession efforts of Western Balkan nations.

This initiative could reshape the dynamics of EU enlargement, impacting the accession timelines and perceived fairness for all candidate countries.
