GEO-POWER-EU focuses on strengthening the security dimension of the EU’s policies by producing evidence based up-to-date research output and policy recommendations. The project departs from the assumption that the enlargement and EaP policies have progressively reached a critical point, accentuated by the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine, which calls for major revisions in order to produce a well-informed strategy and additional reliable tools for policy making, such as scenarios, that can be used by policy makers. The goal of the project is improvement of the EU neighbourhood policy and accession process, thanks to a clear vision for the political agenda of the EU towards the EaP and the WB, based on a deep and nuanced analytical basis.
The University of Belgrade – Faculty of Political Science is a proud member of the esteemed consortium of this Horizon 2020 project.
The fifth GEO-POWER-EU Talks episode dedicated to the European Commission’s 2025 Enlargement Package has been released. The discussion examines the EU’s latest country reports and what they reveal about the state of enlargement in Montenegro, Serbia, and Georgia.
In this episode, Asuman Kübra Baş (Head of Projects and Research at the European Neighbourhood Council) is joined by Dr. Tena Prelec, Prof. Filip Ejdus, and Kakha Gogolashvili to discuss Montenegro’s reform-driven progress and ability to sustain momentum, Serbia’s democratic backsliding and ways to make enlargement more tangible, and Georgia’s shift from a promising candidate to a “candidate in name only”.
