Abstract

Sosyalist Federal Yugoslavya döneminde Sırbistan’a bağlı bir özerk bölge iken 2008 yılında bağımsızlık ilan eden Kosova Cumhuriyeti diğer Batı Balkan ülkeleri gibi Avrupa Birliğine üye olmayı hedeflemektedir. Soğuk Savaş sonrası dönemde eski Doğu Bloğu ülkelerini üye olarak bünyesine alan AB, daha sonra Batı Balkanlara yönelerek bölge ülkeleri ile gelecekte üyeliği öngören ortaklık anlaşmaları yapmıştır. Doğu Bloğu ülkelerinin üye alınması sürecinde Kopenhag kriterlerini yürürlüğe koyan AB, Batı Balkan ülkeleri için Kopenhag kriterlerine ilave olarak İstikrar ve Ortaklık Sürecini yürürlüğe koymuştur. AB tüm Balkan ülkeleri gibi Kosova ile de İstikrar ve Ortaklık anlaşmaları imzalamış olmakla beraber Kosova’nın üyelik süreci pek nedenle diğer Batı Balkan ülkelerinden farklı ilerlemektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı Kosova Cumhuriyeti’nin Avrupa Birliği(AB) üyeliği bağlamında Kosova-Avrupa Birliği(AB) ilişkilerini incelemektir. Bu makale, AB'nin Batı Balkanlara yönelik izlediği politikayı incelemesinin yanı Kosova-AB ilişkilerini incelemektedir. AB genişlemesini teşvik etmek için tasarlanmış tüm ilgili politika ve mekanizmaların değerlendirilmesine ve incelenmesine ek olarak, bu sürecin önemli anlarının bir açıklaması verilecektir. Makale aynı zamanda Kosova’nın AB üyeliği sürecindeki zorlukları da değerlendirecektir.

KOSOVO-EU RELATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION MEMBERSHIP PROCESS

Year 2022, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 161 - 180, 30.06.2022

Abstract

The Republic of Kosovo, which declared independence in 2008, while it was an autonomous region affiliated to Serbia during the Socialist Federal Yugoslavia period, aims to become a member of the European Union, like other Western Balkan countries. In the post-Cold War period, the EU, which included the former Eastern Bloc countries as members, then turned to the Western Balkans and made partnership agreements with the countries of the region, which envisaged future membership. The EU, which put into effect the Copenhagen criteria during the membership process of the Eastern Bloc countries, has put into effect the Stabilization and Association Process for the Western Balkan countries in addition to the Copenhagen criteria. Although the EU has signed Stabilization and Association agreements with Kosovo, as with all Balkan countries, Kosovo's membership process proceeds differently from other Western Balkan countries for many reasons. In this context, the aim of the study is to examine the Kosovo-European Union (EU) relations in the context of the Republic of Kosovo's membership to the European Union (EU). This article examines Kosovo-EU relations as well as examining the EU's policy towards the Western Balkans. In addition to the evaluation and examination of all relevant policies and mechanisms designed to promote EU enlargement, a description of the key moments of this process will be given. The article will also evaluate the challenges in Kosovo's EU accession process.
