Rising Euroscepticism and geopolitical challenges are posing significant obstacles to the EU’s enlargement strategy and reform efforts in the Western Balkans. Addressing these concerns requires forward-thinking ideas that rebuild trust, foster cooperation, and counter the influence of authoritarian actors. Rather than being perceived as a burden, the region holds strategic value for the EU’s future. Think nea – New Narratives of EU Integration focuses on these challenges, advancing ideas to secure Europe’s geopolitical relevance, reinforce stability, and shape a more united and strategically autonomous Europe. The discussion will be centered upon the findings of the latest think nea report The rise of radical right and Eurosceptic political forces and the impact on the EU’s enlargement policy .
