The EU just took a historic leap toward expansion, holding four key membership talks in one day with Ukraine, Moldova, Albania, and Montenegro — the biggest enlargement push in two decades. While full membership isn’t imminent, reforms and 35 policy areas await, plus unanimous approval from all 27 current members. Proposals like partial single-market access could accelerate integration. Eastern and Central European economies are outpacing Western ones, attracting major investment — but challenges like aging populations, labor shortages, and global instability loom. With defense and industry stakes rising, the question now isn’t if the EU will expand eastward — it’s when. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
