| | | | | | On behalf of the Austrian Institute for International Affairs – oiip and the Austrian Society for European Politics (ÖGfE)I would like to invite you to following Kick_Off Conference: Western Balkans 2 EU: A Reality Check for EU Enlargement EU enlargement has not been amongst the top priorities in Europe recently. The COVID-19 pandemic has dominated everywhere, plus: it doesn’t make internal reforms required for the enlargement of the EU any easier. Beyond that, also the Western Balkans are struggling with internal problems; democracies are under pressure and the records on the rule of law are mediocre. The search for renewed energies and optimism proves difficult within the current health and economic crises. What challenges lie ahead for the EU and its closest neighbours on the Western Balkans? Why does it appear to be so complicated to establish rule of law in the countries? How can we encourage a European perspective/a European future together? March 23, 2021 14:30 – 16:00 New perspectives on rule of law and justice – Where do we stand and what do we need?
