Abstract

The paper argues that the European Commission and the Union itself ought to adopt a more hands-on political rather than technocratic approach to the issue of EU enlargement. In a context when Europe redefines geopolitics, including technology, science, education as well as combating climate change and digitalisation in its geopolitical self-repositioning, the issue of enlargement should be treated as an internal geopolitical concern of the European Union itself and not just as the concern of the applicant countries.
