Summary/Abstract: The process of the enlargement of the EU towards east and south – east Europe was designed as a process of convergence of the countries in transition that were already partially or potentially integrated in the European Union. The Balkan region is relatively undeveloped and there is a serious problem of whether the convergence with EU can be a sustainable process in terms of the comprehensive approach of the EU towards the enlargement. As a conclusion, it can be stated that the EU has learned from its mistakes in the Balkans. But, the emerging situation has eliminated the possibility for some fast – track interventions. Thus, the Balkans is faced with a long and difficult trail towards Europe.
