Next week, we have a once in five years chance to shape the future of Europe. 🇪🇺 Every vote matters; do not underestimate the importance of yours 📣 I read those days about tight differences at the last elections among parties. -In France, the margin between the National Rally and La République En Marche! was very tight, with the former winning 23.34% and 22.42% of the vote. -Just a few seats separated some political groups. For instance, the EPP secured 182 seats. In comparison, the S&D secured 154 seats, illustrating how small shifts in voter preference can significantly impact the composition of the Parliament and the future course of European politics. It is our turn to decide whether we want to live in a democratic, forward-looking, innovative, green, inclusive, just, equitable, open-minded and internationally relevant Europe or the other way around. Do not let others decide our and our children’s future. Europski parlament u Hrvatskoj Maja Ljubić Kutnjak

Staying the Course on EU Enlargement After the European Parliament Elections German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) 18 Jun 2024 #Eu #ForeignPolicy #enlargement In the next EU political cycle, the enlargement process will face new challenges. If, as many forecast, the impending elections result in a rightward shift of the European Parliament, this shift is likely to frame the political debate on enlargement in Brussels in more polarizing and securitized terms. The Strategic Agenda 2024–2029, which will define priorities for the next European Commission, is currently being finalized by EU leaders and European Council President Charles Michel. It is expected to emphasize other policy areas such as global competitiveness and defense. In this online edition of our “Balkan Breakfast” series, we discuss the future of EU enlargement in this context. Moderator:  Milan Nič, Senior Fellow, Center for Order and Governance in Eastern Europe, Russia, and Central Asia, DGAP Speakers: Manuel Sarrazin, Special Representative of the German Federal Government for the Countries of the Western Balkans Maja Kocijančič, Foreign Policy Advisor, Cabinet of the President of the European Council Charles Michel  Sébastien Maillard, Special Advisor at Centre Grand Europe, Jacques Delors Institute
