Fighting Corruption in the Western Balkans as part of the EU's Enlargement Reprioritisation

In this episode of European Talks, the podcast of the European Policy Centre (CEP Belgrade), host Milos Pavković explores the future of EU enlargement and the fight against corruption in the Western Balkans. Together with Luisa Chiodi of the Osservatorio Balcani e Caucaso Transeuropa and Miloš Đorđević from Transparency International Serbia, the discussion examines the EU’s Reform and Growth Facility, the risks of “box-ticking” reforms, public procurement transparency, and the state of anti-corruption efforts in Serbia and the wider region. The episode reflects on political will, institutional independence, civil society pressure, and citizen movements as key drivers of sustainable rule-of-law reforms on the path toward EU membership.
