  1. Montenegro is the only realistic candidate so far. Then Albania and Macedonia and that’s about it.

    Personally, from the inside, only one I have severe „No“ reaction to is Serbia. Just… No. Hungary is bad enough.

    The turks are happier gaming all sides on the outside I think.

    Ukraine is welcome but possibly needs a while before its ready.

    Where did you pull those gdp numbers from?

    Albanians GDP per Capita is 12k EUR

    Turkey is a poison pill for any alliance they join. I hope the EU never allows them in.

    Belarus would sooner have a revolution and then join the EU before Turkey ever would.

    I really don’t want in EU (but I want Ukraine to be more connected to Europe), but unfortunately EU is like a symbol of what we aim for majority of Ukrainians.
    In 2014 after students were beaten for opposing anti-Eurointegration laws, the whole nation stood up and overthrown becoming autocracy. And the same year russia invaded and now for Ukrainians it is either with Europe or back to Mordor.

    But taxes, laws and regulations of EU will not fit Ukraine. Honestly Ukraine is not even close to be ready for EU, but on the way of becoming that our idiots in economic and financial ministries would ruin the country even further. And economics fall after war.

    Even by optimistic scenarios we won’t be second Poland, but second Bulgaria.

    We need lower taxes and more freedom to businesses as this is how our economics developed in last years. Lower taxes would attract foreigners and we need restoration. And also there is Laffer’s curve, and we are far beyond peak, generating much less taxes than if they were lower.

    Turkey will never be part of the EU.
    It will get veto’d again and again and again. Just not going to happen.

  8. Did Finland and Sweden not join?

    Also Kosovo will probably never be able to join

    None of them will be let in anytime soon, or maybe ever. The EU is always too busy fighting itself. Even if Orban is voted out in April, the EU will not risk having another ‚Orban’s Hungary‘ situation again, no matter how small the country. Imagine tiny Montenegro electing a Russian lapdog and being able to paralyse the EU’s unanimous decision-making. Until the EU reforms itself none of them will be allowed in.

  10. Joining EU means prices go up and salaries stay same. Also people get the fuck out from country. Why do they want to join?

  11. The GDPs are super old I believe, Turkey currently have over 18000$ GDP per capita.

    Anyways, my two cents Turkey is prioritizing its own goals i/o European ones, and challenges EU in some areas such as maritime jurisdiction in EastMed.

    I don’t believe there will be fully membership any time soon. But, integration (customs union, visa regimes, common security etc. should be worked on)

    I think Iceland should be considered a potential candidate. Turkey first application dates back to 1987.
