Preparing the European Union to accept additional member states as early as 2030 is a realistic target even if it’s challenging, European Council President Charles Michel said.
“The purpose of the enlargement is not to be bigger,” Michel said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on the sidelines of a meeting of almost 50 European leaders in Granada, Spain, on Thursday. “The purpose is to be more influential, more powerful to protect and to defend the interests of our citizens,” he added.
