  • Description: <p>The European Council granted the status of accession candidates of the European Union (EU) to Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova on 23 June 2022, Georgia could soon follow. The urgent calls of the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a ‘fast-track’ accession urge for an in-depth examination of the challenges of the accession process itself – in particular as accession procedures in the Western Balkans have stalled as increasingly authoritarian-competitive regimes hold firm to power, but also attitudes towards enlargement within the EU are quite diverse. This contribution presents the reform models under debate (classified as anchor, assistance, and staged models) and attempts to grasp the extent to which they can compensate for the weaknesses of the enlargement process so far. </p>
