Türkiye’s geopolitical and strategic importance cannot make up for the government’s democratic backsliding, and EU membership criteria are not up for negotiation, MEPs say.

On 12 May 2025, the AFET and BUDG Committees will hold a second Dialogue on the Reform and Growth Facility for the Western Balkans. The Reform and Growth Facility for the Western Balkans is a new financial instrument aimed at supporting the socio-economic convergence between the six Western Balkan countries and the EU on their path to accession. It consists of €4 billion in highly preferential loans and budgetary guarantees, as well as €2 billion in grants.
In October last year, the Commission adopted an Implementing Decision approving the reform agendas of the Western Balkan countries, which make EU support conditional on the prior fulfilment of reforms. In March, the Commission started disbursing the pre-financing under the Facility to the Western Balkan countries. Members will have the opportunity to discuss with Commissioner Marta Kos the state of play of the implementation of the Facility, in particular the reforms foreseen in the reform agendas, the challenges as well as the payments made. The dialogue on the Reform and Growth Facility shall take place twice a year. A first dialogue meeting took place in September last year, following the entry into force of the Regulation.
