how does a country joins the European
0:04
Union It's not easy It takes sometimes
0:06
even decades But here is exactly how the
0:10
process looks like Step one a country
0:12
must apply to join the EU But it doesn't
0:16
get just in As first the council of the
0:19
EU which is the institution made up of
0:22
27 EU ministers of the countries must
0:26
all accept the country as an official
0:29
candidate Step two then it comes the
0:32
hardest part which is the negotiation on
0:35
35 policy areas which of course are
0:39
called chapters These 35 chapters cover
0:42
a lot of topics like justice economy
0:46
environment agriculture human rights and
0:50
many more These chapters are negotiated
0:53
separately So the country must meet the
0:56
EU standards before joining the EU Step
1:00
three during the time the country is
1:03
making progress on the 35 policy areas
1:06
the EU invest money in the country to
1:10
help them modernize More exactly the EU
1:13
has allocated 14.2 billion in
1:18
pre-acessions funds for candidate
1:20
countries between 2021 and 2027 Step
1:25
four once all conditions are met the
1:28
European Council and the European
1:30
Parliament must vote on the accession
1:33
and if it passes all the 27 member
1:35
states must confirm the decision again
1:38
But be careful because one single no can
1:41
stop the process Step five this is kind
1:45
of optional and it doesn't usually
1:47
happen in the end of the process but
1:50
most countries also hold a referendum
1:53
asking the citizens if they want
1:54
actually to join the EU So after all of
1:58
this how long does it take Well it
2:01
really varies For example for Croatia it
2:04
took 10 years to join the EU But there
2:07
are other countries like North Macedonia
2:10
that applied in 2004 and Turkey in 1987
2:15
and they didn't join yet But I have one
2:18
question that I'm curious to hear your
2:20
thoughts Should the EU stop accepting
2:22
more countries inside Let me know in the
