Not only Albania, the Netherlands são wants Serbia, Macedonia and Bosnia in the EU

Three ruling coalition parties in the Netherlands voted on a resolution urging the Government not to accept either the opening of negotiations between the EU and Albania or those with Macedonia.

The decision does not seem surprising if you see the Netherlands' often blocking relations with the Union's enlargement process, not only in relation to Albania but many other countries.

Under the resolution, Albania had not done enough in reform in justice and the fight against corruption, which was rejected by another ruling D66 party, as well as two opposition parties that supported opening negotiations, accusing the Dutch government of dishonesty and lack of geo-strategic vision.

The Dutch Parliament resolution is not binding on the government, but on the fragility with which it stands, with only 1 vote more than opposition, reduces the chances of the Netherlands executive opposing Parliament.

Dutch refusal is numerous. Against Albania, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Romania, against Bulgaria, against Ukraine, against Turkey.

Even in 2013, the Netherlands opposed granting candidate status to Albania.

In 2016, a referendum was organised against the EU-Ukrainian Stabilisation and Association Agreement, while the Netherlands continues to block the Schengen area's expansion with Bulgaria and Romania, carries tch. Croatia's EU membership was also delayed by one year because of the Dutch, while blocking Bosnia for what is known as the Membership Action Plan. The Netherlands has a skeptical attitude towards Serbia, has frozen relations with Turkey, while it is quite harsh and critical in terms of reforms in Romania, Poland and Hungary.
