The EU has learnt from its mistakes with the UK and Georgia and is now prepared to be "more assertive" including by investing in candidate countries to counter fake narratives, European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos said.
In a group interview on Tuesday in which Euronews took part, Marta Kos said 2025 marked a departure for the way the European Commission approached enlargement, notably because "it was the first time that we invested resources, we have invested men and women power to help fend off foreign malign interference".
