The College of the European Commission will hold a regular meeting in Brussels on Wednesday, November 4. The agenda includes the 2026 European Union Enlargement Package, which assesses the progress made by candidate and potential candidate countries in the European integration process.
According to an announcement from the European Parliament, European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos will present the Enlargement Package to members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET) on the same day.
The package will include progress reports for nine candidate countries – including Bosnia and Herzegovina – as well as for Kosovo, a potential candidate for European Union membership.
The European Commission is also expected to present accession plans for four countries that have made significant progress on their European path: Montenegro, Albania, Moldova, and Ukraine. These plans are intended to define the next steps toward EU membership, focusing on continued reforms and the gradual integration of candidate countries into European policies.
The annual Enlargement Package is one of the European Commission’s key documents for evaluating the progress of states on their European path, particularly in areas such as the rule of law, democratic institutions, fundamental rights, and economic reforms.
Following the presentation of the reports, rapporteurs from the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs will draft resolutions for each country, outlining the Parliament’s positions and recommendations regarding their continued progress toward EU membership.
