The European Commission has extinguished the enthusiasm of the day before, when it was declared in Slovenia that within 2030 the region will be in the EU. It was the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, who declared that 2030 is the deadline, but the EC today declared that the Union is not focused on deadlines.
" We are not focused on a date, but focused on working with candidate countries to prepare and join the European Union ," said European Commission spokeswoman Dana Spinant at a daily press conference. Tuesday, August 29, 2023.
She emphasized that the process should remain merit-based and that candidates should move in line with their success in fulfilling the conditions.
" We have always said that enlargement is a merit-based process, which means that a candidate must join the bloc when he is ready. We are not focused on the timeline, but on close cooperation with the candidate countries to prepare them to join the bloc. We are focused on reforms, investments, or the transformation of the economies of these countries ", she said.
The spokeswoman of the European Commission reiterated that success in enlargement requires both the candidates and the EU to be ready. She has warned that EU leaders will discuss enlargement at the Granada summit in Spain.
In relation to the statement, Prime Minister Rama reacted, who, unlike yesterday where he released spikes and irony, today declared that he is ready to board the EU bus, despite the fact that it is slow.
" Yes of course, that's why a bus can never become a plane... But believe me, in the current state of foreign affairs, staying on an EU bus without a seat is safer than sitting on a Russian plane , because the journey may be too slow and our destination too far, but one thing is as certain as death: This bus will never crash IN THE EU https://politico.eu/article/europe an - commission -snub- charles-michel-2030-enlargement-target/ ", writes Rama.
