EU wants to expand faster in the Balkans

Yesterday, European Council President Antonio Costa called enlargement, “namely to the Western Balkans,” the European Union’s “most important geopolitical investment” and a “geostrategic necessity.” The EU-Balkans summit begins today, which, according to Costa, would involve discussion of speeding up the process of EU membership. Germany, for decades, often through the EU, has fought for control of the Western Balkans. If more nations in this region become EU members or partners, they would become subservient to Germany.
