Unia Europejska wobec Bałkanów Zachodnich i Turcji
The European Union Towards Western Balkans and Turkey

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the policy of the European Union towards Western Balkans and Turkey. The issues discussed include the united Europe’s engagement in the stabilization of the Balkans, reforms implemented in particular countries in the region, as well as the European aspirations of individual states. The complex problem of the EU’s relations with Turkey is also tackled. On account of religion and political culture Turkey was, is and will probably still long be perceived as a country that does not meet the standards of Western Europe. The author draws attention to the fact that Turkey’s integration raises enormous controversies among citizens and politicians alike, whereas the EU is not yet ready to receive the countries of the Western Balkans.
