Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic expressed skepticism on Tuesday about a swift expansion of the European Union, saying he is not optimistic that aspiring new members, including Serbia, will join the bloc in the near future.
European Union Expansion
Vucic said that while the European path remains the best option for the Western Balkans, Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia, a major enlargement of the bloc should not be expected anytime soon.
Ruslan Stefanchuk, Ukraine’s parliament speaker, said the EU should accelerate accession to prevent Russia’s aggressive policies.
The Western Balkans is comprised of Serbia, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia, North Macedonia, and Kosovo, which all aspire to join the EU.
