Paper Summary

The EU is trying to help countries in the Western Balkans improve their justice and home affairs systems. They use the promise of EU membership and visa restrictions to encourage reforms. However, this approach may create tension because the visa restrictions limit people's movement and may hinder the countries' progress towards becoming stable democracies.
