EU enlargement after Ukraine

The article from Blerim Reka, former Minister for the Republic of Kosovo, addresses how the Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will likely affect EU enlargement, probably delaying the accession of the six Balkan countries. There are three issues in particular where the EU’s “global power” has been lacking: the Brussels dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, the North Macedonia and Bulgaria issue, and Bosnia and Herzegovina’s internal political crisis. If the EU does not reconsider its enlargement policy, more European countries could fall under Russian aggression or influence.
