Translation of my latest blog for @CEPBelgrade on how the public perceptions & political attitudes on #RuleOfLaw might further evolve, both in the EU and the Western Balkans

"In the present emergency, appeals to mere altruism will probably not override national interests. However, in the present emergency, global co-operation isn’t altruism. It is essential for ensuring the national interest."

Zamalo da propustim ovomesečne žalopojke Politike o ženama (pardon, pripadnicama lepšeg pola) koje sve manje rađaju. Obratite pažnju na poslednji pasus, odnosno ono što je novinarki i urednicima Politike najmanje važno. ⏬
.@senamaric: Teško je očekivati od nosilaca vlasti da se odreknu privilegija i povlastica koje su stekli mehanizmima „zarobljavanja države“ s obzirom da je nemoguće da države regiona postanu članice EU u toku njihovih političkih mandata.

@kudosguard@Intetyst@fbieber The Ministry of Trade reacted eventually and banned these products. Thanks Florian for exposing them! https://t.co/9z0YFDkGHE
How to make the best of the revised accession methodology & Economic and Investment Plan when the EU's enlargement policy is suffering another crisis? Our analysis gives some ideas @skacarska@alband2011@AnidaSab@DinchyB@GLPSKosovo
Ministerial conclusions on enlargement are currently blocked in the @EUCouncil!
🆕We argue that the revised methodology + Economic & Investment Plan have the potential to revive the region’s sluggish EU integration process - but, will that happen?

@senamaric « Notre intérêt est de vraiment faire que l’état de droit fonctionne dans nos pays. Avec mon think tank @CEPBelgrade, notre but est de trouver des alliés pour européaniser, transformer vraiment nos pays »

Call for Applications: Aspen Germany’s Berlin Policy Hub. We facilitate advocacy & scoping activities for selected independent think tanks from the #WesternBalkans. See our Call for Applications (https://t.co/IK09NCdayt) and apply (https://t.co/Bns7Ch7rXA) until December 31, 2020
Economic & Investment Plan for #WesternBalkans is an excellent innovation in EU's enlargement policy. A key question ahead is how to ensure that these funds reach citizens & businesses through improved infrastructure, greener energy, cleaner air, even if governments are corrupt?
My piece with Corina Stratulat from @epc_eu is out on @CEPBelgrade website, too! Recommendations target, among others, @rccint@RYCOwb@eu_near@EUCouncil and others. Recommended particularly to @Dimitrov_Nikola and other MFAs in the region. We need initiative from the region!
#Montenegro's political situation is very interesting to follow these days! How long will the current enthusiasm last and what to expect in the upcoming period? We talked to @Stevomuk1 from @IA_Alternativa , have a listen! https://t.co/MW7ISixgwR
Excellent thread on the EC's asylum and migration package presented today, by @CaminoMortera 👇

No explicit mention of Western Balkan countries as transit ones? @APC_CZA
@YlvaJohansson is definitely also part of the optimistic school of the Brussels bubble: five days to screen may be reasonable for easy cases, but most cases are not easy. Mostly because smugglers/human traffickers know more about asylum procedures than we do.
