The EU strategy for Balkan, presented yesterday in Brussels, has officially marked the change of course, after the promises for stopping enlargement, considering the accession of Romania and Bulgaria as rushed.
Member countries such as Germany also show hesitation. Commissioner Johannes Hahn said for Deutsche Welle that the people in the region deserve the approach with the EU. It is also in their best interest to stop the emigration of intellectuals who look for better jobs in the EU.
2025, according to Hahn, should not be seen as a clear time dateline, but as an indicative estimated period, to encourage regional leaders to conclude their tasks.
EuObserver writes that Albania has entered an ambitious judiciary reform, but this is just the beginning. However, according to this newspaper that covers EU events, the EU Commission should use new instruments to keep politicians under pressure, in order to overcome oligarchies and undertake significant reforms.
