Can the EU Risk Excluding Western Balkans? Case: North Macedonia
Russia and China are actively vying for influence in the Western Balkans, where five countries strive to join the EU. Despite strong public support for EU membership, frustration grows as strict admission criteria slow progress in these candidate countries.
To help us understand these dynamics, we’re joined by Mr. Aleksandar Kržalovski, Director of the Macedonian Center for International Cooperation (MCIC). MCIC is a civil society organization focused on advancing North Macedonia’s EU accession and international integration. Mr. Kržalovski will share with us the intricacies of the process as well as the hopes and frustrations of his home country’s citizens.

New European Media in a Divided World
Coen and his friends have created “Forum Gotterfunken”, a large network of EU-focused Reddit groups with over 100,000 followers. In subreddits like r/EuropeanArmy, r/europeanunion, and r/EuropeanCulture, they use bots to share curated news from reputable sources, making EU news more accessible. These spaces also spark lively debates about the EU.
Beyond managing the subreddits, they host podcasts on their Discord server to discuss current issues. This week, they’ll join our Zoom session to explore “EU Media in a Divided World”. Join us to listen, learn, share your thoughts, and ask questions!
