A coalition of 46 civil society organizations from the Western Balkans, Ukraine, and the Republic of Moldova addressed a joint appeal to the European Parliament and to the EU Member States, urging them to make enlargement a core strategic and budgetary priority in the upcoming EU long-term budget (MFF 2028–2034).
Majlinda Bregu, Chair of Europe Plus (E+) Strategic advisor, addressed professors, students, and guests at the Congress of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Arts, organized by the University of Tetovo. She emphasized the significance of the University of Tetovo, not just as an academic institution, but as a symbol of national emancipation and the pursuit of education in the mother tongue.
Europe Plus (E+) hosted the roundtable “Resetting Enlargement: A New Approach towards the Western Balkans” during the Belgrade Security Conference 2025, emphasizing a clear message: the Western Balkans do not lack ambition — they lack pace. The discussion examined the current state of the EU enlargement process, the gap between geopolitical urgency and domestic reform progress, and the need for tangible benefits for citizens. While public support for EU membership remains strong, slow and uneven reforms have created frustration.
