The president of the European Commission mentioned 2025 as a possible year for the membership of several candidates from the Balkans to the European Union. It is an ambitious but feasible forecast”, Hahn said in the interview given to the Austrian newspaper Kurir.
Asked whether Catalonia will leave the European Union, Hahn replied that all parties involved in Spain must return dialogue and that the outcome of regional elections in Cataloni has not facilitated the situation on the ground at all.
As for union procedures against Poland, he said it is not about fragmentation of the European Union, writes Rtv21.tv.tv.
“in some states we are facing the fact that rule of law is still not properly developed”, Hahn said.
Asked what the benefits from the union's neighbourhood policy are, Hahn said the European Union would either export stability, or at the contrary risk of importing problems.
“Stability we can export by developing the states economically, while rule of law facilitates investments”, Hahn clarified. /21Media
