The New Methodology of Enlargement and its Potential Effects on Kosovo: A Difficult Balance Between Politicization and Credibility?
Authored by Miruna Butnaru Troncotă and Arolda Elbasani, the policy brief " The New Methodology of Enlargement and its Potential Effects on Kosovo: A Difficult Balance Between Politicization and Credibility?" centres on the following question: how the different goals of the revised EU enlargement methodology play out in the specific case of Kosovo, a country that faces multiple challenges, faced with a new context where the state of reforms call for better monitoring, while member states’ individual concerns shape a more politicized approach to enlargement. To tackle these aspects, the empirical part
of the analysis draws on a range of first sources - relevant EU documents and semi-structured interviews with experts and diplomats working on Kosovo.
This policy brief is part of a series of publications produced by the Kosovo Research and Analysis Fellowship (KRAF), an operational KFOS project.
