Finland has a special place in the history of EU enlargement. In 1999, here in Helsinki, EU leaders set the Union on the path towards its biggest enlargement ever. Today, we are again faced with the dual challenge of preparing candidate countries for membership and our Union to https://t.co/L0YdNnvPoB #EUnenlargement #Finland #HelsinkiSummit #FI #EU
🇨🇦 Canada is welcome in a stronger European family — absolutely. But 🇺🇦 Ukraine matters more, and Ukraine is more urgent. The EU must not allow a fascinating long-term debate about Canada to distract from the enlargement agenda already on the table in Eastern and Southeastern https://t.co/EXqIpNeP10 #Canada #Ukraine #EUEnlargement #CA #UA
🇧🇦🇪🇺 BOSNIA INTO THE EU BY 2029 — EMERGENCY ACCESSION NOW! Europe has already shown that enlargement can be both strategic and conditional.

The economic case for EU enlargement is strong: reforms bring investment, and investment boosts productivity & growth.

The IMF study presented today shows that this potential has not diminished. https://t.co/sGKC4bXx6X #EUElargement #Investment #EconomicGrowth #EU #CE #EE

A bigger Europe is a stronger Europe. At @CEPS_thinktank, I presented new IMF research showing that, with bold reforms, deeper single-market integration & strong institutions, EU enlargement can boost productivity, growth & living standards for all. https://t.co/cRV0d57hFl https://t.co/fS42uKDoxB #EUEnlargement #StrongerEurope #EconomicGrowth #EU #BE #DE #FR #IT

The EU’s waiting list for potential new members may be getting longer. Next week, Iceland will decide whether to restart talks on joining the EU. But enlargement isn’t just about who will be the 28th or 29th member, it’s about building an even stronger Europe. Together. https://t.co/p7uodF0EMD #EUEnlargement #IcelandEU #StrongerEurope #EU #IS

Serbia must not hold Europe's future hostage. Ukraine and Kosovo have demonstrated their commitment to Europe's future under the most difficult circumstances. Their path toward the European Union should be accelerated. EU enlargement should reward countries that advance reforms, https://t.co/FddysxF2yN #Serbia #EUEnlargement #UkraineKosovo #RS #UA #XK
Over the past days, many Serbian civil society representatives have been subjected to smear campaigns and personal attacks. A strong civil society and engaged citizens are an asset to every democracy and essential to a successful enlargement process. They deserve respect and #CivilSociety #Democracy #Serbia #RS

Every step towards EU enlargement makes Europe stronger. Today's opening of Cluster 6 for Ukraine and Moldova unlocks the transformative power of EU accession through reforms that bring both countries closer to membership.
