Summary
European Council President António Costa is on a high-stakes tour of the Western Balkans, slamming the door open for EU membership to show Europe’s commitment to peace and security. At a pivotal summit in Montenegro, he’s rallying six candidate nations to accelerate reforms across 35 policy areas, as the EU battles rising Russian and Chinese influence. His Bosnia stop is especially urgent—still scarred by war and ethnic divides—with Costa urging unity and EU focus. Meanwhile, a new High Representative for Bosnia is set to be appointed, with the EU insisting the pick must champion EU accession. This isn’t just diplomacy—it’s a strategic bet on stability, with every EU member’s approval needed to move forward. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
