EU-Western Balkans Summit: a renewed approach to the region

About

By 2030, the European Union may welcome several new member states from both the Western Balkans and Eastern Europe. Ukraine and Moldova, having formally initiated accession negotiations in June 2024, are on a fast track to EU integration due to the geopolitical urgency created by the Russian invasion. In parallel, the Western Balkan countries— such as Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia—are gradually progressing towards EU membership, with some, like Montenegro and Serbia, also already engaged in accession talks.

The link between post-soviet Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine and the Western Balkans is akin to two sides of the same coin when it comes to EU enlargement. Both regions are pivotal in shaping the future landscape of the EU. On their integration path, Moldova, Ukraine and the Western Balkans share similar challenges related to the rule of law, judicial and anti-corruption reforms, geopolitical pressure, and foreign information manipulation and interference.

This year’s European parliamentary elections in 2024 and the subsequent formation of a new European Parliament and Commission will play a critical role in determining the pace and priorities of the EU enlargement process. The next mandate will be crucial as it will coincide with a period of significant geopolitical shifts, making it essential for the new Commission to prioritise strategic reforms that enhance the EU’s institutional readiness and policy coherence. As underscored in Ursula von der Leyen’s political guidelines for the next European Commission, “enlargement as a geopolitical imperative” is a central theme, reflecting the urgency of integrating new member states to bolster European security and resilience. The 2024 Western Balkans Summit aims to redefine the dialogue on EU enlargement by focusing on the accession processes of Western Balkan countries through an inclusive and innovative approach.

Furthermore, the summit will address the broader implications of EU enlargement on the Union’s long-term goals. As societal polarisation and political fragmentation continue to rise within the EU, the new Commission will need to take decisive measures to ensure that the enlargement process strengthens the societies rather than exacerbates these divisions. The focus will be on accelerating internal integration and enhancing policy coherence to prepare the EU for the inclusion of new member states with varying economic and social backgrounds.

The summit also connects with broader social policy choices being debated under the Renewed Social Contract initiative, particularly regarding the EU’s soft power and its role in promoting European security and resilience. Enlargement, political integration, rule of law, and shared values are directly linked to these policy choices, which aim to ensure that the EU remains a predictable, inclusive, fair and influential global actor.

The Western Balkans Summit aims to build a cohesive and comprehensive strategy for integrating the region into the EU while adapting its ambitions and policies to fit the new reality of an enlarged and more complex Europe.

In the 2022 edition of the EU-Western Balkans Summit, key speakers included: Stevo Pendaroski, President of North Macedonia; Dritan Abazović, Prime Minister of Montenegro; and Albanian Prime Minster of Edi Rama. In 2023, the Summit was joined by Ministers of Foreign Affairs from Albania, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia.

SESSION I – EU enlargement: the role of norms and values in the accession journey
Expand SESSION I – EU enlargement: the role of norms and values in the accession journey

This session will explore the political dimensions of EU enlargement, focusing on the critical institutional and geopolitical challenges that shape the accession process for the Western Balkans.

The 2023 Enlargement Package outlines key political reforms required for the region, including governance, rule of law, and public administration. However, internal divisions within the EU and competing national interests have slowed progress, raising concerns about the Union’s commitment to enlargement.

Amidst global shifts, such as the war in Ukraine and growing external influence from Russia and China, the geopolitical importance of integrating the Western Balkans has intensified. Stability in the region is crucial to the EU’s security and foreign policy. This session will also examine how the Western Balkans can navigate these challenges and advance political reforms.

With a focus on political leadership, democratic governance, and accountability, this discussion will aim to provide insights into the future of EU Western Balkans relations and the political reforms needed for successful integration.

Key questions include:

  • How can the EU overcome internal divisions and conflicting interests to build a unified and strategic vision for the enlargement process in the Western Balkans?
  • What innovative political reforms could the Western Balkans adopt to not only meet EU accession criteria but also strengthen their own democratic resilience and governance?
  • In the context of the war in Ukraine and shifting global alliances, how can the EU leverage enlargement as a tool to reinforce geopolitical stability in the Western Balkans?
  • How can the Western Balkans balance the need for political reforms with the growing influence of external powers like Russia and China, without compromising their path toward EU integration?

Coffee break
SESSION II – Unlocking economic potential: growth and integration through EU accession
Expand SESSION II – Unlocking economic potential: growth and integration through EU accession

As the European Union renews its commitment to the enlargement process, the European Commission’s ‘New Growth Plan for the Western Balkans’ offers a roadmap for fostering economic convergence, enhancing regional cooperation, and integrating with the Single Market. A central objective of this plan is to accelerate reforms in key areas such as the rule of law, economic governance and democratic institutions, while providing a structured pathway towards EU membership. While Western Balkan countries have welcomed this initiative, concerns remain regarding budget consistency, political alignment, and its integration within the broader accession framework.

The economic future of the Western Balkans cannot be envisioned without considering the private sector’s role, both within and outside the region. Understanding how businesses perceive economic trends, growth prospects, and the capacity for local versus external investment is crucial. These insights will help shape the direction of development initiatives and influence the region’s integration into the European and global economy.

Key questions include:

  • What reforms and incentives are necessary to attract foreign direct investment and secure the involvement of the international business community?
  • How do businesses inside and outside the region view the Western Balkans’ economic trends and growth potential? Are sectors such as manufacturing, tourism, and energy positioned for expansion?
  • How favourable is the Western Balkans as a destination for investment?
  • What factors make the region more or less attractive to international investors?
  • What strategies can ensure that economic growth is resilient, equitable, and capable of withstanding global shocks while advancing towards EU integration?

SESSION III – Shared Justice: building fairer and more inclusive systems in the region
Expand SESSION III – Shared Justice: building fairer and more inclusive systems in the region

Over the past three decades, establishing a robust rule of law in the Western Balkans has been challenging. Despite significant legal changes, issues of political influence, corruption, and inefficiency persist in the region’s judicial systems. A transparent, impartial and efficient judiciary is crucial for regional stability.

Building on the insights from the recent Shared Justice Initiative event on
the 21 June held in Tirana, this session will further explore the critical aspects of justice reform in the Western Balkans. This session will reflect on past reform efforts, identify areas for improvement, and explore innovative approaches for future reforms. The discussions will be guided by the summary and key takeaways from the roundtable in Tirana, providing a solid foundation for developing a comprehensive and forward-thinking approach to justice reform in the region.

Key questions include:

  • What are the primary challenges in establishing a robust rule of law framework in the Western Balkans?
  • How can judicial independence, impartiality, and integrity be ensured in the region?
  • What lessons can be learned from past justice reform efforts, and how can they inform future initiatives?
  • How can the EU and Western Balkan countries collaborate more effectively to foster a judicial culture that upholds the highest standards of justice?
