Zhodnocení procesu rozšiřování Evropské unie

Abstract

For my bachelor thesis I have chosen the issue of enlargement of the European Union. This bachelor thesis is about to evaluation of the enlargement process of the European Union and possible future development of this process. The first chapter explains the conditions for the country's accession to the EU and the criteria that each country must complete when they are joining the European Union. The second chapter describes the various stages of EU enlargement, as well as important events and treaties that changed the shape of the ES and later the EU. The third chapter analyzes the candidate and potential candidate countries for EU membership. The countries of the Eastern Partnership and other European countries are also mentioned. I also write Brexit. In the end I evaluate the EU enlargement process and try to explain why it is important not to wait long with the enlargement of the Western Balkan countries.
