Since the Thessaloniki Summit of 2003, only Croatia managed to join the EU, while the other countries in the region remain candidates for membership, with little prospects to join by 2030. The research investigates how China\u2019s approach impacts specific outcomes, both supporting and undermining the EU accession process, chapter by chapter. It also explores the reasons behind these outcomes, including China\u2019s approach, domestic agency, and geopolitical factors. The goal is to provide a comprehensive and cross-country analysis of China\u2019s impact in the region and identify areas where the Western Balkan countries can eliminate or minimize negative consequences, or leverage potential synergies, ultimately aiming to understand the interplay between China\u2019s involvement and the EU integration process in the Western Balkans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_ydpc4e2e239MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The presentation of the research findings took place on October in Skopje, North Macedonia at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_ydpc4e2e239MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">This is a joint publication of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies and ESTIMA.
