Scenarios of Future EU Enlargement and Consequences for Transatlantic Relations

Project Manager: David Král

Project staff: David Král, Věra Řiháčková, Vladimír Bartovic

Timeframe: completed (November 2007 – December 2008)

Executive Summary:

The aim of the project was to examine the various scenarios of further enlargement of the European Union, taking into account particularly the position of political elites in the new member states of the European Union and suggesting what possible impact these scenarios are likely to have on Transatlantic relations. The research was focused on the three key entities: Turkey, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina which EUROPEUM identified to be of key importance for the US foreign policy. EUROPEUM built on previous activities and research on the issue of the EU enlargement and foreign policy agenda both in the EU and particularly in the new EU member states of Central and Eastern Europe.
