Not for youth, but with #Youth. 🇪🇺

Through our EESC Youth Test, young people's voices are part of the policymaking process.

We also:
🌍 involve them into our meetings and hearings;
🌱 send a Youth Delegate to COP every year;

#EUEnlargement is a strategic investment in a safer and more prosperous Europe.

I welcome the @EU_Commission’s 2026 Enlargement Package.

A merit-based process, democratic values and meaningful civil society participation must remain at its heart.

Nakon završetka pregovora, ključna je priprema cijelog društva za članstvo u EU 🇲🇪🇪🇺

Na 23. sastanku Zajedničkog konsultativnog odbora EU i Crne Gore u Briselu istakla sam da smo predajom završnih pozicija obavili naš dio posla u pregovorima. Naš cilj je da sva poglavlja zatvorimo do kraja godine, potpišemo Ugovor o pristupanju 2027. i postanemo punopravna članica EU 2028. godine.

Evropske integracije moraju donijeti konkretne rezultate za naše građane. Upravo zato, kroz #EuroModel, radimo na povećanju zarada i penzija, dok projekat #VeljeBrdo treba da omogući dostupnije stanovanje, posebno mladima i porodicama. 🏡

Naš zadatak je da pripremimo cijelo društvo za članstvo, ojačamo institucije i obezbijedimo da građani i privreda osjete konkretne koristi evropskih integracija! 🇲🇪🤝🇪🇺

[Marta Kos @MartaKosEU]

Dear Serbia, you have made your voice heard!

After nearly two years of protests for democracy, the rule of law and the fight against corruption, Serbians turned out in historic numbers.

Congratulations to the Student List on your victory!

These are the very values at the heart of our European Union.

A new chapter can begin for Serbia. The door to the EU is open, and we are ready to move forward together.

[António Costa @eucopresident]

Today, the people of Serbia turned out in record numbers to shape their country’s future.

Congratulations to the Student List on its victory in the parliamentary elections.

We stand ready to support reforms on the rule of law, media freedom, the fight against corruption and strong democratic institutions, and to work together to build Serbia’s future in the European Union.

Today with EVP @RoxanaMinzatu, we signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding between @EU_EESC & @EU_Commission.

Our commitment: to jointly implement the first-ever EU Anti-Poverty Strategy, with civil society and lived experience at its heart.

Enlargement can no longer be treated separately from climate ambitions.

Early alignment of candidate countries with EU climate policies could:
🇪���� reduce compliance costs;
🇪🇺 strengthen energy security;
🇪🇺 give businesses & investors greater certainty.

Honoured to meet today with Montenegro’s Ombudsman, Mr Siniša Bjeković.

A valuable exchange on fundamental rights, the rule of law and the role of independent institutions in Montenegro’s path towards EU membership.

Democracy is strongest when rights are protected.

[Séamus Boland @EESC_President]

Pleased to meet representatives of Montenegro’s inspiring civil society in Podgorica today.

An active and independent civil society and meaningful social dialogue are essential for democracy. They must be at the centre of the 🇲🇪 🇪🇺 accession journey.
