Abstract

Enlargement is one of the greatest opportunities for the European Union (EU) at the beginning of the 21st century. So far, thirteen applicant states are waiting ante portas: Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Turkey. The peaceful integration of these societies from across the whole continent is a unique historic, political, and socio-economic opportunity. Extending security and political stability as well as prosperity to such a large pool of EU candidates is an extraordinary challenge. The task is without precedent in terms of its scope and diversity: the EU could increase its area by 57%, its population by 170 million citizens and it could gain a new cultural and historical background in the near future.
