The Czech Approach to EU Enlargement: Full Steam Ahead!

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Czechia has traditionally been one of the strongest supporters of further European Union (EU) enlargement. This is not only because the Western Balkans and Eastern Europe are long-term priorities within Czech foreign policy, but also because it is in the country’s interests to bring long-term stability to these regions in Czechia’s broader neighbourhood. Specifically, the Czech enlargement strategy assumes a more comprehensive approach, as by keeping these states on a trajectory of gradual rapprochement with the EU, it also aims at preventing the strengthening of other actors’ influence such as, but not limited to, Russia and China. This approach builds on the region’s proximity and strategic importance as well as its familiarity and traditionally good relations with these countries. In the context of events in Ukraine, Czechia increasingly views enlargement as a geostrategic investment. Czech diplomacy believes that enlargement is not just a matter of formally fulfilling the criteria, but that in the new geopolitical situation, the values of belonging to the West are more important than ever. Hence, whereas previously Czech support for enlargement was mainly motivated by economic interests and for some Eurosceptic political elites it was a welcome opportunity to ‘dilute’ integration, today a values-based attitude prevails.
