The most recent development on the Western Balkans’ Road to meeting EU conditions for economic, financial, and political integration, and eventual accession, was the release of the European Commission’s New Growth Plan for the Western Balkans. Announced on 8 November 2023, the new Growth Plan sets forth a framework for socio-economic convergence between the EU and the Western Balkan countries. In this section, we will analyse if this new Growth Plan will indeed lead to a better enlargement process ahead. Specifically, in the case of Kosovo, we also assess the Plan’s goals and instruments as put jointly with the Dialogue on Normalization of Relations, which will necessarily run in parallel to the new economic boost provided by the Growth Plan.
