"Along with other Western Balkan countries, Bosnia is currently facing the double challenge of integrating the EU while consolidating the constructions of its nation. Its political, economic, social and structural improvements are unquestionable; this duplicity remains one of the main differences with the 2004 enlargement and could represent an extra burden to achieving the integration. Nevertheless, I believe the EU could make this task easier for the future Member States. In fact, 20 years ago, Europe intended to defend the values of multiculturalism in the Balkan region. Nowadays, it appears that some of the EU’s main leaders have stopped believing in these values. If the principle of enlargement itself is not at stake, how can multiculturalism be promoted in the Balkan region when multiculturalism is discarded by the founding countries of the EU? It is not easy to expand when there are doubts at the core, yet it is desirable and pressing for us to set a good example and structure for these future Member States."@en1
