Summary/Abstract: Ever since its creation, in 1957, the European Union has been continuously extending, reaching its peak in 2016, when it had „engulfed” most of the Old Continent (28 countries). While the enlarged free-trade zones and the Arab Spring provided wide opportunities for EU to expand its Area of interest - the Wide Neighbourhood Policy (WNP), there are also considerable challenges which place a large question-mark on the future of the WNP and the future of EU itself. Some of the biggest challenges are: the increasingly-hostile Russia, the Brexit, the refugees’ crisis, various EU reconfiguration formulas, etc.
