GEO-POWER Talks: The state of EU enlargement

We are excited to announce the launch of a series of Twitter/X Spaces dedicated to exploring the future of EU enlargement and security dynamics in the Western Balkans and Eastern Neighbourhood. These discussions will also highlight findings from the GEO-POWER-EU project, aimed at strengthening the EU’s ability to tackle rising security challenges.

About the GEO-POWER-EU Project:

The GEO-POWER-EU project focuses on improving the EU’s capacity to respond to evolving geopolitical challenges, particularly in its Eastern Neighbourhood and the Western Balkans. Through analysis of geopolitical actors and military threats, the project helps shape the future direction of EU enlargement policy and a stronger EU strategy.
