From Antiquity through the Middle Ages, the Balkan Mountains had been called by the local Thracian name Haemus. According to Greek mythology, the Thracian king Haemus was turned into a mountain by Zeus as a punishment and the mountain has remained with his name. A reverse name scheme has also been suggested. D. Dechev considers that Haemus (Αἷμος) is derived from a Thracian word *saimon, 'mountain ridge'. A third possibility is that "Haemus" (Αἵμος) derives from the Greek word "haema" (αἵμα) meaning 'blood'. The myth relates to a fight between Zeus and the monster/titan Typhon. Zeus injured Typhon with a thunder bolt and Typhon's blood fell on the mountains from which they got their name.

When will the Western Balkans become EU-members?
Twenty years ago, after the wars in ex-Yugoslavia, the European Union said that the future of the western Balkan countries would be within the European Union. They would, as soon as possible, join the EU. Today, however, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania and the others, still don't belong to the EU. Why is that? Willen de huidige EU-landen dan geen verenigd Europa? Of willen deze landen het zelf niet meer? Vjosa Musliu is politicoloog aan de VUB en legt (in het Engels!) uit wat het probleem is.

Will the Western Balkans Ever Join the EU?
NordVPN: https://nordvpn.com/tldr
In 2003, the EU promised to begin the process of integrating the Western Balkans countries. However, with ethnic tensions rising, the accession process appears to have stalled. In this video, we examine the factors behind this stagnation and how both parties could resolve the impasse, the prospect of a Single Market membership, and how a two-stage strategy could bring the Western Balkans closer to the EU.

EU-Western Balkans summit: A new impetus for EU enlargement? • FRANCE 24 English
European Parliament President Roberta Metsola is urging the EU to send a strong signal to the Western Balkans at an upcoming summit in Albania on December 6. "Young people from those countries are hungry for the EU," she says, and the EU "should not turn away from them". But as several of those countries sat in the waiting room for years, disillusionment set in. This summer, Albania and North Macedonia did start accession talks, but questions remain as to whether enlargement really is a priority for the EU. We discuss what's at stake with two MEPs.

EU discusses membership hopes for Western Balkans | DW News
Several Balkan countries will be seeking reassurances from the European Union today, as they meet in Slovenia to talk about their eventual acceptance into the bloc.
Member states took the opportunity to discuss issues of foreign policy, following the fallout from the Afghanistan withdrawal.
But much of their deliberations will be focused on calming the nerves of western Balkan nations, who have been waiting for years to be accepted into the EU. Talks of expanding the union have recently stalled.
One of those countries hoping to join is Albania. Some EU members are cautious about Albania's membership, due to the country's problems with drug trafficking and money laundering.

Will Serbia, Kosovo or Albania Join the EU Next? | Western Balkans
The EU has been slowly expanding since its birth in 1951. From only six founding members at the heart of Western Europe, to 27 member-states ranging from all across the continent, the Union has grown significantly over the last few decades. The potential members most talked about at the moment can be found in the Western Balkans. While many of these states are eager to join the EU, how likely is their accession? In this video, we take a look at the overall situation in the Western Balkans and how likely we believe they are to join the EU in the near future.

"Young people from those countries are hungry for the EU," she says, and the EU "should not turn away from them". But as several of those countries sat in the waiting room for years, disillusionment set in. This summer, Albania and North Macedonia did start accession talks, but questions remain as to whether enlargement really is a priority for the EU. We discuss what's at stake with two MEPs.

Several Balkan countries will be seeking reassurances from the European Union today, as they meet in Slovenia to talk about their eventual acceptance into the bloc.
Member states took the opportunity to discuss issues of foreign policy, following the fallout from the Afghanistan withdrawal.
But much of their deliberations will be focused on calming the nerves of western Balkan nations, who have been waiting for years to be accepted into the EU. Talks of expanding the union have recently stalled.
One of those countries hoping to join is Albania. Some EU members are cautious about Albania's membership, due to the country's problems with drug trafficking and money laundering.

The EU has been slowly expanding since its birth in 1951. From only six founding members at the heart of Western Europe, to 27 member-states ranging from all across the continent, the Union has grown significantly over the last few decades. The potential members most talked about at the moment can be found in the Western Balkans. While many of these states are eager to join the EU, how likely is their accession? In this video, we take a look at the overall situation in the Western Balkans and how likely we believe they are to join the EU in the near future.

European Union and Western Balkan leaders have met in Tirana for a summit to reassure the region of their future in the EU bloc.
The leaders discussed migration and more financial support for the region, but the meeting was dominated by the EU's renewed commitment to Western Balkans countries that have been waiting years to become members.

From Antiquity through the Middle Ages, the Balkan Mountains had been called by the local Thracian name Haemus. According to Greek mythology, the Thracian king Haemus was turned into a mountain by Zeus as a punishment and the mountain has remained with his name. A reverse name scheme has also been suggested. D. Dechev considers that Haemus (Αἷμος) is derived from a Thracian word *saimon, 'mountain ridge'. A third possibility is that "Haemus" (Αἵμος) derives from the Greek word "haema" (αἵμα) meaning 'blood'. The myth relates to a fight between Zeus and the monster/titan Typhon. Zeus injured Typhon with a thunder bolt and Typhon's blood fell on the mountains from which they got their name.
