The new Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighborhood, Olivér Várhelyi, says that the EU's long-awaited new methodology will make the accession process "more reliable, more dynamic and more predictable". The claim has been met with a polite but muted response from officials across the Balkans, who remain more involved in preparations for what promises to be a "hot" political year in which most of their countries hold local or general elections, or both. This silence and lack of excitement about what is supposed to be a very important document testifies to the ever-lower image of the EU in the Balkans – and to the fact that even under the new strategy, a realistic prospect of EU membership still appears completely lost.
Despite its stated aim to "improve the Cambodia Telegram Number Data admissions process", the document - for now - offers very little to change such thinking.

While some EU officials say the true value of the document will only be revealed through a process of consultation, review and eventual implementation, the "new" methodology in its current form offers no revolutionary ideas.
In fact, it follows the same ideas outlined in two "non-diplomatic notes" that several EU member states presented at the end of last year. The "new" strategy echoes some old ideas A document proposed by France last November, for example, was based on four core principles; gradual association, stricter conditions, more tangible benefits – and reversibility of the expansion process. This proposal provided that the enlargement "would no longer be based on the simultaneous opening of a large number of thematic chapters, but on several successive stages, which will form coherent blocks of policies".
