One of the main questions addressed in this book is whether the EU enlargement fatigue has resulted in broken promises leading to a "commitment fatigue" among the EU candidate states from Western Balkans. Until recently, political and business leaders from Western Balkans, almost without exception, have repeatedly highlighted their aspirations for joining the Union. The discussions about future of Europe would be incomplete, without investigating the relations between EU and Western Balkans. This book addresses academic researchers, policy makers, and higher education students. The Editors
