How can gradual EU integration work in the Balkans? A Debrief with Odeta Barbullushi & Adi Cerimagic

In a discussion led by Atlantic Council's Ilva Tare, Adi Cerimagic and Odeta Barbullushi explore a new Franco-German proposal for a phased EU integration approach for the Western Balkans. They consider how this gradual integration could address the region's complex political landscape and economic challenges, aiming to foster stability and growth. This initiative is significant as it may offer a more flexible pathway to EU membership, potentially easing tensions among the diverse political and ethnic groups in the Balkans.
