Summary/Abstract: Enlargement policy is one of the key foreign policies of the European Union and is implemented with countries that, primarily geographically, belong to the European space. The goal of the enlargement process is that non-member countries, through joint work and dialogue with the bodies of the European Union, to fulfill the prescribed conditions and become full members of the EU. The enlargement process is also supported by significant EU financial intervention, which is made available to non-member countries in the form of the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance. The Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance is essentially a financial instrument for implementing Brussels' foreign policy towards countries aspiring to EU membership. This pre-accession support to the enlargement process helps beneficiary countries to improve their administrative, economic, legal and overall social capacity to implement EU standards in their countries. In accordance with the intention to accelerate the reform process, the European Union has adopted a new enlargement methodology. According to the new enlargement methodology the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance for the period 2021-2027 (IPA 3) has been formated in principle and content. IPA 3 is tailored to maximize the effects of financial support on the enlargement process as much as possible. The changes are significant and are expected to contribute to accelerating the implementation of reforms and meeting the criteria. The link between financial assistance and the enlargement process has never been clearer, and the evaluation of the "applied commitment" of the beneficiary countries will be easier to assess than ever before.
