This event has been made possible in part thanks to the support of the European Commission in the context of its awareness-raising campaign on EU enlargement. The objective of this campaign is to inform citizens in the current EU Member States about the enlargement policy of the European Union and the countries in the process.
Croatia will become the EU’s 28th Member State on 1 July 2013.
Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey are candidate countries or potential candidates for EU membership. Some of them are already in the negotiation process or waiting to start, while others have been promised the prospect of membership when they are ready.
This campaign provides factual information about the EU enlargement process and encourages EU citizens to get to know more about the people, cultures and heritage of the countries involved. It seeks to challenge existing perceptions and offers a possibility to discover new facts through travelling photo exhibitions, events featuring performers and contributions from the aspiring countries and documentaries highlighting some of their individual accomplishments… In this way the campaign seeks to present the human side of the EU enlargement process and to illustrate how the potential accession of new countries may offer new opportunities to people on both sides.
* This designation is without prejudice to positions on status, and is in line with UNSCR 1244/99 and the ICJ Opinion on the Kosovo declaration of independence.
