EU enlargement is not a fairy tale for kids, but a real fight! Miroslav Lajčák, the EU Special Envoy for the Belgrade-Priština dialogue, made it clear that the enlargement process demands way more than empty words. At a recent meeting of the European Council on Foreign Relations in Poland, Lajčák stressed that enlargement won’t happen automatically; it requires hard work and constant attention.
While politicians often boast about verbal commitments, Lajčák reminds us that’s just the start. Real effort must be put in, not left to chance or empty promises.
Meanwhile, Montenegrin Prime Minister Milojko Spajić is celebrating the closure of Chapter 5 in EU accession talks, calling it an outstanding success. EU Commissioner for Enlargement, Marija Kos, also praised Montenegro for this step, symbolically announcing a “green wave” of new results.
But while Montenegro cheers, Lajčák reminds us the whole process is far from over. EU enlargement is not automatic; it demands ongoing attention and work.
So, while politicians celebrate and make big announcements, the reality is there’s still a ton of work ahead. EU enlargement isn’t just a media phrase; it’s a serious task requiring commitment from everyone involved.
If you think this is just another political story, think again. EU enlargement is key to stability and security in the region — but only if taken seriously. What do you think — will this process really finish, or will we keep hearing empty talk? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s in and who’s out!
