The Western Balkans and the European Union: an inevitable reconciliation?
Cinémathèque, 24 October, after screening of the film Honeymoons
As Croatia prepares to join the European Union in 2013, the other countries from the Western Balkans are also hoping for a rapid accession to the Union. To this end, they are undertaking the political and economic reforms which are required for their integration. Yet the war in Kosovo and its subsequent independence have left deep scars in the region which threaten to undermine this process. Will the prospect of European integration be a guarantee of peace and regional stability for the various players in this conflict? Will the European Union, itself going through a period of crisis, be able to address the political problems of the region? Event organised jointly with the Jean Monnet Chair of the University of Luxembourg |
