EU enlargement is back in focus for the Union. It is a given that the candidate countries and their regions and cities must prepare well before they join, but cities and regions in the current EU Member States must get ready as well.
Enlargement is a strategic EU interest and should be a catalyst for progress. However, challenges in various areas are inevitable, such as geopolitics, economy, social protection and democracy.
Meet us after the workshop in the networking zone to learn more about our initiatives linked to the EU enlargement.
