đď¸ Excited to share another episode of the podcast series âOpen Talks on Enlargementâ, produced in collaboration with EU Law Live.
In this episode, Prof. Sara Poli speaks with Dr. Luigi Lonardo about the EU enlargement process, with a focus on Montenegro and North Macedonia.
The discussion traces the evolution of EU enlargement and examines the current negotiation framework structured in clusters by the European Commission, with a strong emphasis on the rule of law, fundamental rights, and democratic governance.
A key focus is placed on safeguard clauses in accession treaties, which allow the EU to monitor compliance with fundamental standards even after accession. The episode also discusses how these mechanisms relate to Article 7 TEU, highlighting important differences in scope and legal effects.
The conversation further explores how bilateral disputes may affect accession dynamics, as illustrated by the case of North Macedonia.
