Fantastic news! At the intergovernmental session of 15 October 2024, Albania began the first of five negotiation chapters of the Cluster 1 with the European Union
We are thrilled with this initial step and eager for the EU enlargement process to continue!
Our seminar on “Cyber Security Trends and Legal Issues in International and European Law” left us feeling really happy.
The relevance of international and European law to cyberspace, as well as cybersecurity challenges, piqued the interest of students enrolled in the International Law, Cyber Security and Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and International Organisation courses.

This monograph aims to provide an overview of the European Union’s enlargement policy and how it has affected its membership.
It is the product of scientific research conducted within the Jean Monnet Module ‘EU-Western Balkans Cooperation on Justice and Home Affairs’ (EUWEB, 2019–2022) and the Jean Monnet Chair ‘Promoting Public Awareness on Enlargement Policy, EU Values and the Western Balkans’ Accession’ (EUVALWEB, 2022–2025).
The work analyzes the systematic role of enlargement policy in the legal order of the Union (Chapter I), after which it looks at the regulatory bases and application practices that have helped to identify the conditions of membership (Chapter II). The work begins with the various accession processes, which explain the motivations behind this research (Introduction). However, the latter draws attention to a difference between pre- and post-enlargement that the Court of Justice similarly denounced, demanding adherence to Article 2 TEU as the cornerstone of the Union’s and its members’ identity (Chapter III). In conclusion, the book evaluates potential enlargement options that combine treaty reform and accession, based on suggestions made by some European institutions and Member States (Chapter IV).

Also, we will release the outcomes in our online Journal EUWEB Legal Essays. Global & International Perspectives (Prof. Teresa Russo as Editor-in-Chief), so stay tuned.
We would like to express our gratitude to all of you for making the first concluding conference of this EUVALWEB edition such a fruitful and stimulating scientific event.
Convened by the organizing committee of Profs. Teresa Russo, Marina Matić Bošković, Jelena Kostić, Ivana Bodrožić, and Valentina Ranaldi, the event was meant to serve as a forum for discussion and comparison of the steps taken and yet to be taken to bring the legal systems of the accession states into line with the criteria of EU membership.
We sincerely believe the event met its expectations and achieved all its goals.
On May 30, 2024, the Institute of Criminological and Sociological Research of Belgrade served as a suitable venue for an intense and serious discussion about the possibility of EU enlargement into the Western Balkans.
Great outcomes resulted from the conference proceedings, which were masterfully opened by the welcome speech of H.E. Luca Gotti, the Italian Ambassador to Serbia, as well as from the speeches of the keynote and guest speakers, and young researchers from the academic and professional world, who animated the various sessions of the conference, enriched by the participation of police trainees and representatives of the public and civil society.
