"EU to have new members after Brexit - likely Balkan states"
The EU will accept new members when Britain leaves the block, and those will probably be the Balkan countries, says Federica Mogherini.

Nikola Novakovic, Turkey's problem is that it continues to act in a way that runs completely contrary to the principles of the EU with regard to democracy and rule of law. Whether you accept these as the basis for membership determines the length of the path to accession. I'm not sure that they have lost too much by not joining.

None EU nations have the largest economic growth in the world, you're a sinking ship and we want no part of it.

Iraq was the country with the largest economic growth in the world in 2016. By that criteria of yours, Serbia should become part of Iraq!

They need the Balkans. They need their manpower. Cheap labor and right in Europe. They need access to the Sea, rivers and land from all around Mediterranean.
Everything has become so capitalist. This will destroy what is remaining of old culture. Villages will be no longer. This is sad.

They make it seem like the EU is the only true representation of Europe. The Balkans is the heart and soul of Europe, whether the west wants to admit it or not it all began here. You can keep your Eu membership we don't want it. None EU nations have the largest economic growth in the world, you're a sinking ship and we want no part of it. The Fourth Reich is doomed.

She added that these countries are facing "a long and difficult road - but it is certain they will continue on that path."

Of course: expect long and difficult to be everlasting as they will continue on that path for infinity.

Turkey has been lead to believe that it to will be accepted into the EU...
For over 40 years Turkey has been mislead and munipulated into believeing its future rests within the EU... just Weeks ago the President of Turkey made a speech indicating that his country will never enter the EU as he believes that the EU is a new crusader alliance which never intended to allow A majority Muslim country like turkey to join...!!!
Serbia is in the same boat, so to speak. The EU has been misleading Serbia for years, it will never allow, nor was there any real intention to allow Serbia to join the EU. Croatia is still very much a fascist country and is allowed into the EU (this is no surprise, Croatia helped the nazis in WWII, and so Germany repays Croatia with EU membership)... Serbia will continue to be mislead for many more decades, just like Turkey. Serbia's future rests within a pan-Slavic Union, which is yet to be created.

Let's face it. Serbia is by far the most ready of the candidates. Maybe Montenegro as a new NATO country, but definitely Serbia economically and politically.

The EU is a thousand year dream of the Vatican Reviving the (Un) Holy
Roman Empire. Two World Wars were fought because of this. They carved up Yugoslavia and played one ethnic group agaist the other because they want to attack the largest and strongest rival Christian Church, Russian Orthodox. They know Serbia had their fingers in the demize of three empires, Ottoman, Hapsburg and Rhird Reich. We Serbs will add a fouth too, Nato and the New World Order.

Sasa- sad but true. Wouldn't it be great if we all defied convention for once, showed some maturity, and didnt go to war over our issues. All hope is not lost.
No greater Albania being admitted? She must have mispoke.

Europe is, and never will be the EU. Europe is much more than the EU can ever be. I am fed up with stupid EU politicians claiming that they represent "Europe".They do not. We do not need a "euronazi" state dictating what we should or should not do.

Mogherini "stressed that the relationship between the EU and the Balkans has helped many countries in the region overcome the consequences of the war that followed the breakup of Yugoslavia."
Mogherini ,is in good drugs (dope).
The Balkans are so close to war ,that she doesn't see it .
Bosnia Muslims do not have support from Bosnian Croats and Serbs ,where war is close.
Macedonia is close to civil war as well ,between the Ethic Macedonian and Shiptars .
Serbian and Shiptars are close to civil war , as well.
Montenegro was about to have a take over of leadership.
The only good relationship is between Serbia and Slovenia. Even Croatia and Slovenia are not on good terms.
So ,I do not know what is she talking about mending bridges in former Yugoslavia.

Looking at history Europe was always there so it doesn't make sense what the EU crowd are going on about as in as they are the only ones in Europe and to have a reference to Yugoslavia guessing if the Europeans stayed out it probably wouldn't have fallen apart, but NATO and the Germans where never going to allow a country with one off the biggest armies in Europe stay together. The old English aren't stupid and getting out for a reason huh?
