An Unfinished Project: EU Enlargement in the Balkans

It's been over a decade since the EU almost doubled in size, adding 10 Central and Eastern European countries between 2004 and 2007. And it's been six years since Croatia became the newest member state, but another wave of EU enlargement seems like a longshot.

At the end of 2018 and beginning of 2019, we traveled to Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia to learn how these countries view the EU.

What are people in these countries saying about EU accession? And how does it affect how they view issues like unemployment, migration, corruption, and political division? Watch as we bring you first-hand accounts of how these countries see their prospects for a future inside the EU.
