New Special Eurobarometer survey - Young Europeans are among the strongest supporters of EU Enlargement.

The European Commission published a new Special Eurobarometer survey showing that young Europeans strongly support EU enlargement: around two-thirds of respondents aged 15 to 39 share the view that (potential) candidates should join the EU, once they meet the necessary conditions, while 56% are in favour of further EU enlargement and consider it to be beneficial for their own country.
According to the survey respondents, the main advantages of expanding EU membership are related to security and defence, to a stronger economy and competitiveness, and to EU global influence in the world. However, 67% of citizens say they do not feel well informed about enlargement.

Surveys were also conducted in candidate countries and potential candidates, and they generally show overall support for EU accession. In the Western Balkans, the highest support is registered in Albania (91%) and North Macedonia (69%), while respondents in Serbia display the lowest support in the region with a 33%. In the Eastern Neighbourhood, Georgia and Ukraine show 74% and 68% of support, respectively.
