EU offers Serbia fresh hope for membership talks and says more countries could join soon
The commission said Montenegro could join in 2028 and Albania and Moldova in 2029, while Serbia could restart talks if democracy improves.
- On Wednesday, the European Commission released its annual enlargement report, signaling a potential reset for Serbia's membership talks if the election-winning student movement forms a government willing to strengthen democracy.
- Former populist President Aleksandar Vucic's defeat by student protesters who spent two years challenging his government may now guide Serbia toward European Union accession, reversing years of democratic backsliding.
- Montenegro is on track to become the European Union's 28th member in 2028, with Albania and Moldova potentially joining the following year, while Ukraine is urged to accelerate reforms to meet its "ambitious objective."
- The European Commission introduced a "roadmap" for each aspiring member, though every candidate must secure unanimous endorsement from all Union member countries after finishing negotiations before joining.
- Bosnia-Herzegovina and North Macedonia have no imminent prospect of joining, while negotiations involving Georgia and Turkey remain at a standstill due to democratic backsliding in both countries.
