  • The upcoming elections have triggered speculations that negotiations between Serbia and the EU might resume even prior to Ratko Mladić’s arrest. European officials have been sending clear messages during the last few months, stating that the EU welcomes Serbia, but that the conditions set by the Hague Tribunal have to be met. Serbia’s journey towards the EU came to a halt on May 3rd when EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn announced that the EU indefinitely suspended the negotiations with Serbia, since Hague fugitive Ratko Mladić had not been put behind bars.

  • On July 14, the European Union's Council of Ministers adopted a new framework for providing aid to candidate countries and would-be candidates. Called the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (I.P.A.), it aims to consolidate several aid programs, thereby increasing efficiency, and better targeting the funds. It sounds like a sensible idea, but it could be a mixed bag for the official candidate countries — Croatia, Macedonia, and Turkey — as well as candidate-hopefuls Albania, Bosnia, Montenegro, and Serbia.

  • Celebrations have already begun to mark Bulgaria's and Romania's accession to the European Union on January 1. But while plenty of fireworks may greet the day in Sofia and Bucharest, elsewhere there is not much sign of the display of pomp that greeted the "class of 2004". Instead of celebrating the achievements of two states that were ravaged by 50 years of communist rule and which have prepared themselves for membership in a short period, "old" Europe seems disinterested in their accession, beyond the threat (or promise) of cheap labour.

    The big Balkan EU dream had already started to lose some of its luster long before Brussels reaffirmed last week that while "the future of the Western Balkans lies in the European Union," such a future may be very distant indeed. [...]
    But where does this leave the EU's fabled leverage to institute change in prospective member states? If people in the Balkans now realize that the EU will not automatically make them rich and if their governments see that the sky repeatedly fails to fall when they experience problems in their relations with Brussels, shouldn't we expect the region to become less willing to reform?

  • Even though the radicals won most votes in Serbia's general elections (EurActiv 22/01/07), two-thirds of the seats in parliament will lean towards democracy. Therefore, a group of pro-European reform-oriented parties is likely to form the new government.
