Скачать или смотреть EU-Western Balkans Summit: a renewed approach to the region

The 2024 Western Balkans Summit aimed to redefine the dialogue on EU enlargement by focusing on the accession processes of Western Balkan countries through an inclusive and innovative approach.

Furthermore, the summit addressed the broader implications of EU enlargement on the Union’s long-term goals. As societal polarisation and political fragmentation continue to rise within the EU, the new Commission will need to take decisive measures to ensure that the enlargement process strengthens the societies rather than exacerbates these divisions. The focus will be on accelerating internal integration and enhancing policy coherence to prepare the EU for the inclusion of new member states with varying economic and social backgrounds.

The summit also connected with broader social policy choices being debated under the Renewed Social Contract initiative, particularly regarding the EU’s soft power and its role in promoting European security and resilience. Enlargement, political integration, rule of law, and shared values are directly linked to these policy choices, which aim to ensure that the EU remains a predictable, inclusive, fair and influential global actor.
