Abstract:

The article explores the European Union (EU) enlargement process and the challenges it faces in the context of current geopolitical dynamics. It outlines the key features of the enlargement process, including the Copenhagen Criteria, phased negotiations, while also addressing the internal and external factors shaping EU expansion. The article is focused on significant challenges such as internal disagreements among member states, democratic backsliding in candidate countries, and the impact of geopolitical tensions  particularly with Russia  on the EU’s ability to extend its borders. As the EU navigates its role in stabilizing neighbouring regions and countering external influences, the complexity of integrating new members grows.
