European Integration

The article discusses the challenges of Balkan countries joining the European Union. Some countries have already joined, while others are in the process. Becoming an EU member involves not just changing laws and economies, but also shifting values. Western European countries focus on a shared civic identity, while Balkan countries often prioritize ethnic identity. This difference can lead to conflicts and challenges in the EU integration process. Populist leaders in the Balkans can also pose threats to both the EU and Russia.
