This policy analysis will delve into these matters along three main blocks of content. In the first block, we will introduce an overview of the new enlargement methodology as presented by the EC, identifying the potential motivations behind its formulation and critically dissecting its components. In the second block, we will carry out an in-depth analysis on where Kosovo stands in the enlargement process, what its achievements and fallbacks have been, what developments are expected from it to deliver on and what the implications of this new methodology are for the country. The third and last block will map out a set of policy recommendations for Kosovo.
