The 2023 Enlargement Package: What's next?
On Wednesday 8 November, the Commission published its 2023 Enlargement Package.
The Package recommended opening accession negotiations to Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova, granting candidate status to Georgia, and opening negotiations with Bosnia and Herzegovina, once the necessary degree of compliance is achieved.
In this episode of the EPC Podcast, we discuss the Package and its implications, taking a closer look at the situation in Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and Bosnia, as well as the EU internally.
There’s no doubt enlargement is a ‘geostrategic investment’, but are the EU27 and future members ready for this step?
With Olivier Costa, Professor at the College of Europe; Teona Lavrelashvili, EPC’s Policy Analyst and Coordinator of the Task Force on EU Enlargement; and Berta López Domènech, Junior Policy Analyst at the European Policy Centre.
This Podcast is part of the EPC's Task Force on EU Enlargement.
