Policy Recommendations
•
Be consistent in pursuing a policy based on values

Anchoring European liberal values in the Western Bal-
kans is the sole effective means of sustainably stabilizing
the region and driving back the influence of external ac-
tors. The German government, working together with the
EU, must be clear in condemning anti-democratic tenden-
cies and bring its own political action into harmony with
its pro-democratic rhetoric. It should unmistakably link
progress on the path toward European integration to a
country’s respect for the rule of law, and it should expose
authoritarian political style for what it is. As a last resort,
it must be possible to apply sanctions against politicians.
By making a consistent policy out of promoting values,
the EU and Germany will be able regain lost luster, and in
doing so, justify expectations that both – and particularly
Germany – take on greater international responsibility.
•
Secure the support of the region’s civil society
groups for the EU

Taking a strict, values-based approach does carry a real
risk that governments in the Western Balkans may turn
from the EU to strike more nationalistic notes – pursuing
closer ties, for example, to Russia or Turkey. However,
the people of the region clearly want a future in the EU.
Strengthening the EU’s and Germany’s work with civil
society groups and helping to build up local channels of
communication – for example through a media offering in
the region’s languages – would help ensure civic support
for a pro-European course and give national politicians
less room to maneuver. Providing additional support to
leaders who have already demonstrated authoritarian
tendencies carries the much higher risk of stymying real
democratic transformation in the region.
•
Find new partners for promoting a fully European,
values-based approach to the region

With Great Britain’s pending departure, the EU will lose
a strong voice for proactive enlargement policy. While
the United States has up until now been a crucial partner
in promoting stability in the Western Balkans, Donald
Trump’s presidency has yet to define the administration’s
policy toward the region. France, which has until recently
been fairly passive on the topic of EU enlargement, offers
a hopeful place to start with its new government under
President Emmanuel Macron.

sa bočnih strana njegove ekipe duvaju vetrovi koji jačaju pozicije "ni na istok ni na zapad" i sve u tom smislu, tj oni ne pripremaju nikakav "prozapadni zaokret" nego utvrđivanje dosadašnjih pozicija.

U svakodnevnoj delegitimizaciji opozicije, koja na najbitniju temu u istoriji nema šta da kaže.
