Srecko Latal argues in Balkan Insight that “Europe’s new accession strategy looks unlikely to reverse a long process of disillusion and disengagement” between the EU and the Balkans. He writes that the “near-silence and lack of excitement” from Balkan officials “about what is supposed to be a crucial document testifies to the EU’s lower-than-ever image in the Balkans – and to the fact that even under the new strategy, a realistic perspective of EU membership still seems utterly lost.”
