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).

A first intergovernmental conference at ministerial level was conducted by the EU on June 25, 2024, to begin membership negotiations with Moldova and Ukraine.
The Council approved the Negotiating Framework for the discussions with Ukraine and Moldova on June 21, 2023, in accordance with the revised enlargement methodology. This comes after the European Council decided to begin accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova on December 14–15, 2023.

Another success of the second edition of the EUVALWEB Jean Monnet Chair was the second final conference. With H.E. Ambassador Ferdinando Nelli Feroci and Prof. Ana Nikodinovska Krstevska, the Chair Course trainees presented and talked about their work.
