Europska unija na razmeđi: politika daljnjeg širenja ili novi odnosi partnerstva
European Union at a crossroads: policy of further enlargement or new partnership relations

Summary/Abstract: The European Union has to find a way to adapt to contemporary challenges of its inner development (institutional and economic crisis, lack of solidarity between member states, strengthening of radical and populist parties), but also to defend from emerging outer threats (migration crisis, terrorism). Never in the history of the EU has the situation on its peripheral parts, whether it be its closer or farther neighbours, been so dramatic and unstable. In such circumstances, accession of new states to full membership of the EU is hard to imagine and achieve. The paper analyses the main problems which potential and present candidate countries are facing in the new European and international circumstances and emphasises the necessity for the European Union to adapt to the global multilateral surroundings.
