Migration in Europe: the role of the Western BalkansMigration in Europe: the role of the Western Balkans
Helena Hahn led a session on “Migration in Europe: the role of the Western Balkans” as part of a Dialogue Programme for young experts and decision-makers from the Western Balkans. The session focused on the theme of “EU accession perspectives for the Western Balkans in a changed geopolitical environment and chances of membership by 2030“.

Hahn discussed the trajectory of EU-Western Balkan migration cooperation and the balance of EU versus Balkan interests against the background of enlargement. She also shed light on the need to focus on longer-term common priorities, such as legal labour migration and climate mobility.
