The leaders of France and Germany assured prospective EU members in the Balkans on Monday that the British vote to leave the union won’t threaten eventual enlargement of the bloc.
Balkan nations that survived wars and political breakups in the 1990s worry they will face more hurdles to membership as the EU struggles to keep itself together.

I guess the Sheeple are meant to be sheered....just as the original Nazis (and today’s IslamoNazis) said/say

And so the region leads to yet another war.
Why wouldn't people of richer nations not like their elites spreading their wealth to some poorer one? How would you feel if Obama created a Union of the Americas, and started letting countries like Guatemala in, and they in turn just took, took, took from the U.S. and Canada?
Hitler would have happily taken the EU in its current form as a consolation prize for his loss in WWII.
Yeah, bring in Somalia, Syria, North Africa...
Right,just like cancer.
the Balkans , Putin is placing troops close by to take back the Balkans
