Balkan dilemmas

Summary/Abstract: Since 2003, it has been the policy of the EU that every country of the Balkans is a potential candidate for mebership. The EU is prepared to start negotiations with them about accession – without defining any specific timeframes – if the necessary conditions are met on both sides. The integration of the Balkans is a hige long-term investment of the EU, full of snags. On the other hand, its possible return far exceeds the risk factors. Its success requires a calculable, continuous and flexible policy, based on delivering on our commitments and consistently requiring delivery on commitments toward us. Over the last 130 years, Europe has made several attempts to resolve the problems of the Balkans. So far, fortune did not favour any of these attempts. The upcoming decade offers a unique opportunity for the Balkans to break the vicious circle.
