W 2013 roku Unia rozpoczęła negocjacje akcesyjne z Serbią, krajem o liczbie ludności wynoszącej 6,7 milionów. Serbia zaczęła proces akcesji bardzo ambitnie, jednak w ostatnich latach postępy spowolniały. Nierozwiązane problemy regionalne, a zwłaszcza impas w dialogu politycznym z Prisztiną, oraz powolne tempo reform w zakresie praworządności blokują negocjacje akcesyjne. Wybory parlamentarne, które odbyły się w czerwcu 2020 r., nie dały spodziewanego impulsu do poprawy sytuacji. Istnieje więc ryzyko ...

Both Serbia and Kosovo aspire to ...
