- Share to:
The European Union is currently made up of 27 Member States (EU-27). Nevertheless, there is an ongoing process for its future enlargement. The countries taking part in this process are at different stages of progress: acceding country, candidate country, and potential candidate. The European Union initiated the accession negotiations with Croatia (HR) and Turkey (TR) in October 2005 and with Iceland in June 2010. The negotiation process with Croatia was completed in December 2011 with the signing of the Treaty of Accession. Croatia has now become an acceding country and is expected to become the 28th EU Member State on 1st of July 2013, pending ratification of the treaty by the 27 individual Member States. Currently, there are five candidate countries: Iceland (IS), the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (MK) (1), Montenegro (ME), Serbia (RS) and Turkey. The following are the potential candidates: Albania (AL), Bosnia and Herzegovina (BA), and Kosovo (2) (XK).
