00:00Once, there were just six. Not long ago, there were 28. Today, there are 27.
00:09These are not lottery numbers. It is the story of our European Union.
00:13And that story is set to gain a new chapter. But should it?
00:18Europeans are cautiously supportive. The latest Eurobarometer shows 56% are in favor of a bigger union.
00:26Nine countries are in the queue, including Ukraine, Moldova and the Western Balkan states.
00:32For them, it means locking in democracy and prosperity. For us, it means growing our influence.
00:38Combine that with some delicious borscht and Ivar, and it's a richer table for everyone.
00:44But it's not that simple. EU citizens are concerned, demanding candidates should first tackle corruption and uphold the rule of law.
00:53These are critical conditions that cannot be ignored.
00:56At the same time, leaving these countries in grey zone risks seeding influence to Russia or China.
01:03And while Ukraine is a large nation, most other candidates are small.
01:08Like Montenegro, with its 600,000 people, which can be compared to the size of Antwerp.
01:15But as they say, it's not always about size. It's about securing the European family.
01:21The question isn't if the EU will grow, but how it will manage it. And you? Would you support it?
01:28simulate it.
01:42If you have a practicum, it is exactly the same as a transient drop of control.
01:46You can better obey the language.
01:48Hopefully, I'm тебя can't agree.
01:50With my Teacher Beanson, I regard to lyric說 input fromネット.
