The countries of the Western Balkans, geopolitically and historically, belong to Europe and their accession to the European Union is a natural process that will make it complete.

The Great Enlargement of 2004 and the subsequent enlargements of Bulgaria and Romania in 2007 and Croatia in 2013 cooled the Union's aspirations for further rapid enlargement.

Despite the fact that the Western Balkans have long been on the agenda of the European Union, the integration of the region is a difficult and extremely specific process.
