Which country will join EU next !?
It’s been ten years since the last country joined the EU, when Croatia was granted access.
As you can see, most of Europe is part of the EU, beside UK, Switzerland and most of the Balkan countries and as UK just leaved the EU and Switzerland has its history of neutrality, most probably the new EU member will come from the Balkans.
There are currently 8 countries that received their candidate status in the last years: Turkey, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ukraine and Moldova for the last two the process being accelerated by the war in Ukraine.
Kosovo and Georgia also submitted their application, but they don’t meet the requirements for receiving the candidate status.
In 2019 Turkey suspended the negotiations with the EU, so it is no longer a real contender.
According to the European commission the best progress was made by Montenegro followed by Serbia, North Macedonia, Albania, Ukraine, Moldova and Bosnia, but things may quickly change depending on the developments on the Ukraine front and on the tensions between Serbia and Kosovo.
