There is a #geopolitical turn to the enlargement of the #EU, but there is a pessimistic perception of accession countries - no end in sight, no merit-based approach. #WesternBalkans want improvement in governance, #EaP expect #security

There is a gap btw the language of force and the investment in security by #EU. @bfagersten.bsky.social from @uisweden.bsky.social presents @geopower-eu.bsky.social findings on EU #defence. All investments are building the order against Russia, but still not ready for non-liberal global order.

EU accession: new geopolitical momentum = #security first. WB #enlargement designed to reconcile former enemies, EaP accession driven by #defence against Russia. SAAs less comprehensive than AA and DCFTAs for EE that front-loaded more sectoral integration #MilicaDelevic @geopower-eu.bsky.social

The main obstacle to accession of #Serbia to the #EU is #statecapture. There has not been enough conditionality on fundamentals.

Make no mistake: this is not just about a collapsed railway canopy. It’s about a deeply corrupt system sustained by #corrosivecapital and #kleptocracy. @sonjasg.bsky.social and I break it down in our latest @biepag.bsky.social blog. www.biepag.eu/blog/serbias...
