You can check out the details of the EU-Ukraine summit of 2023 here:
www.consilium.europa.eu/en/me...
Also check out this article on Politico by Suzanne Lynch where I first found out about the EU-Ukraine summit:
www.politico.eu/article/volod...
Ukraine and the European Union held a summit in Kyiv at the start of February to talk about Ukraine's EU accession. It's another step towards them becoming a full member, but how close are they? Surely not as close as some other countries like Turkey that have been waiting to join the EU for much longer. Maybe someone should come along and rank them based on how likely it is for each candidate/applicant to join the EU...
btw it totally doesn't say "enclaves and eSclaves" at the end, what are you talking about???

I wish we could rejoin the EU 🇬🇧🇪🇺, hopefully
same and in my opinion its only a matter of time before we rejoin the EU, GB
I reacon I might be a while though. I’d give it 10-20 years
I wish, but the "brexiteers" are too proud and too loud for it to happen anytime soon
I have to agree sadly I couldn't vote then
Give it some time, it will happen.
If I had a nickel for every time Extra made a video about the EU, I'd have 2 nickels, Which isn't a lot but it's totally normal that it happened twice.
Yes
As an Italian I 100% support the uk rejoining, don’t worry we are the kings of making mistakes, there is no shame
Yes and rpeathing misstakes to Fashisem.
i think you'll classify pineapple pizzas as mistakes
Yes they do
Im a brit, I would like to apologize for my country leaving the EU, and my only concern with rejoining the EU is mf's going "LoOk WHo CaMe CRaWliNg BaCK" instead of acting like civilised people and being glad that we've recognized our mistakes and have realised how stupid we were and I hope what you said at 12:09 will be true.

let's not forget that the opposition did 3 national votes. The first two didn't pass, but then the third one did. So......the people want the eu, the leadership wants brexit.

Great video!
I'd love to see another EU themed video about countries which could potentially apply to join the future, such as Iceland, Norway, England, Scotland, Reformed Belarus and Armenia etc.
Ooh that could be pretty interesting actually
Technically Kazakhstan is partially European.
And Greenland and the faroe islands were part of the eu at one time.
@@rehanakhund2578 Greenland and the Faroe Islands could probably join without much hassle because they are apart of Denmark which is a EU member.
@@graceneilitz7661 true
If the Turkic republics in Russia seperated
Would they be considered European and so possible for the eu
It would be interesting to see a Buddhist country join the eu(kalmykia).
And then there's also cape Verde
That apparently kinda wants to be part of the eu even though it's African and already part of the African union
According to the eu accesion wikipedia article
Some people even want Canada to join.
@@ExtraInExile What about Belarus, Armenia and Azerbaijan
What are their chances to join the EU in the near future?
Here in Ukraine people mostly expect us to join EU as soon as the war ends. Quite optimistic, but still important.
Anyways, good video
And that's the biggest question which will literally decide the fate of ukraine,who will win
@@germanempire8678No one at this rate
Turkey isn’t a good idea while Erdogan is in power. Or anyone else who isn’t fully democratic.
Ya also left out the elephant in the room with Turkiye
Erdogan
Cyprus has been a problem for decades, but I genuinely think they would’ve been able to find a compromise if Erdogan hadn’t spent the last decade both begging to join, while also making Turkiye more authoritarian, more bellicose with the invasion of Syria, and the collapse of the Livre because he fired everyone who understood basic economics to promote his “alternative.” Views on what causes inflation.
Also to be a teeny fair their not completely wrong that there is Islamophobia in a lot of EU members that makes them consider Turkiye not European, and that’s been a big cause of the Euroscepticism you mentioned of “if they don’t want us anyways why should we even bother.”
I think once Erdogan and his party are gone this year (which is looking very likely.) I think relations will normalize again, at least I hope anyways.
That's very true, I didn't really want to mention specific people and instead focus on actual issues that Turkey has with EU members to not piss of Turks too much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I do hope Turkey gets a better leader in the elections soon.
@@ExtraInExile Trust me you wouldn't piss Turks off by mentioning erdogan, we hate him
In like 10 years a lot more euroskeptics will have passed away from old age and many younger people will be of legal voting age in the UK, given how bad the 2020s have been for this country and the fact that Rupert Murdoch will probably also pass away within the next 10 years, the UK might start thinking about rejoining around 2035, especially if the Labour plan to harmonise our legislation with the EU is successful after the next elections in 2024/25.
Looking forward to rejoining including joining the Euro and Schengen.

Montenegro stronk! Hopefully other countries will do better, but it takes a lot of work.
I would personally welcome all this countries to join the eu , yes even the British
Always a good day when extra uploads
Absolutely love your videos man, very entertaining 👍
Nice video. I knew that all these countries were potential members, but I had idea were everyone was in the process.
Bruh this chanell is so underated, I hope you get recognised for your work
The background check had me wailing
Another great video from the man in exile
Has anyone else notice that at the Montenegro background check it said:"sex?:all the time"?!
Great video as always!
Although the topic has been done by others, I think it would be cool to see a video about the potential for US territories to become US states with your humor and art sometime in the future. Keep up the good work!
I am almost in crying about extra not adding anything to the funny countries list😭
There's actually a lot of them in this video that are on that list, but I chose to not give any particular one the spotlight today :]
As a Bosnian and Herzegovian i really hope we join the EU since not only would it solve alot of the complicating issues in our country it would also help modernize us even more but who knows when will that happen
love the callout at the end
The tryzub looks great surrounded by stars
Didn’t know I needed to know this
I a german am for the brits to join again but without their special treatment. Have to adopt the Euro and join Schengen
Agreed.
Oh my god you really had to punch me in the gut when you suddenly said my countries' name (I'm a Brit, hello :'D)
Honestly, yeah, I agree, I honestly think we should rejoin the EU, even if there are some people that are gonna go "Oh, look who's come crawling back for support.". Our country has been falling apart ever since we left in 2020, and I'm hoping we can fix that.
Your audio is much better you have improved a looot remember us when you are famous
Nice video!
13:16
What are you talking about?! That a fascinated topic!
georgia is a lot more unlikely than Ukraine. Georgia has a lot fewer people pushing for them, are far away from the EU, and is a bit more foreign. I would say they are at the same level as Kosovo
It's true that they haven't made as much progress as Ukraine has, although Georgia is smaller than Ukraine, and about 77% of the population supports EU membership.
That aged well after the protests eh
First of all....great video
Second of all...most of these candidates are mostly gonna be impossible to let them join...for instance the whole balkans have its own problems....Ukraine might join but that's if it survives the war same with Georgia...and if the Caucasus countries join the eu...I will voluntarily force the eu to make Kazakhstan join too
Kazakhstan is too great to join, we would only drag them down
@@ExtraInExile the reichtangle is well a rectangle Kazakhstan is also a rectangle kazakhstan also has a German minority cuz the USSR deported alot of Germans

Ukraine is definitely going to survive the war, if Russia was able to win unconditionally it would have done it by now. Where the border will lie is an open question, as well as the economic and political state of the countries involved, but Ukraine is not going to stop existing again.

"Guilt is a moral emotion that occurs when a person believes or realizes-accurately or not-that they have compromised their own standards of conduct or have violated universal moral standards and bear significant responsibility for that violation.[1] Guilt is closely related to the concept of remorse, regret, as well as shame."

yeah well I think my country (serbia) should start by admitting genosides previous generations have commited. Unfortunately the people are held in the churches and politicians hands they are being brainwashed literally balkans are famous for its outlandish nationalism like all balkans are serbs and albanians when they say thay are actually the only real balkan people original better than everyone its very retarded but what can you do

Tak!
Do you see any solution to Cyprus problem? Because as a Turk to me it looks like it is stuck in this situation forever. Its is seriously sad. Maybe Erdoğan losing the elections this year might help.
I'm not sure, a one-state solution would be ideal, but even without Erdogan, Northern Cyprus is against that idea. If Turkey ever rejoins the negociation process for EU membership thanks to a milder president, then this is an issue that will definitely resurface and would be solved eventually
@@ExtraInExile Actually Turkish Cypriots who has been there before 1973 and their relatives usually support the idea of unification since most of them were originally from the Southern part of Cyprus. Also there are some tensions between Cypriot Turks and the mainlander since the mainland Turks have bit of acondensing, arrogant view towards Cypriot Turks. Like it's not uncommon for a mainlander Turk to act like a Cypriot Turk owes them for saving them. Things like that strains the relations.
At this point I am just hoping that Erdoğan will finally lose the elections in May.
lovely video as always (i got wayyy too excited at the lublin triangle mention xD), and ooh that new video is one i'll be excited to see. the prospect(?? definitely not the word i mean here but eh whatever) and politics of exclaves and enclaves were always interesting to me, best example i can think of being the kaliningrad oblast haha. cheers!

About EU n Brexit stuff.
Considering I hear alot about how Poland gets alot of power in EU and how they have their own border control rules... Why did Britain even leave EU? One cited reason was immigration but, Poland is in EU, and they have no problems with immigration, they set the rules however they want. Another reason for Brexit that was cited was economic one... And again Poland and many other nations show it to not be the case.
So why did it even happen?
Also you said that Britain becoming EU member is actually most likeliest, but you haven't explained why. Don't they have to complete the process like the rest of them? Can't some nations block them?
The bit about the UK at the end was mostly just a joke to end the video lightheartedly, but I don't actually think that the UK will be able to rejoin in the near future. As for why they left, while Poland does sometimes fall out of line with the economic and immigration policies, they are still expected to follow them, which the UK didn't want to do. They also wanted to have more sovereignty over the rest of Europe.
Yeah, a big part was about the 2014 - 2016 European Refugee Crisis from Syria. Poland didn't have as many immigrants as the UK because 1: The UK is seen as one of the wealthiest countries in the world and is seen as a nicer place to live in (dunno if that's true or not, but it has/had that reputation) and 2: Poland just kind of ignored the EU and took in as few refugees as possible, and 3: The UK has a better reputation than Poland for being nice to immigrants.
The economic reason is definitely turning out to not be true. There's a lot of debate in the UK about whether this was an inevitable consequence of Brexit, or whether the corrupt politicians are keeping this extra money for themselves, or whether different events like COVID are making it difficult to tell, but maybe that's just coping.
I kinda agree it is the easiest country to join, because it has all the requirements of an EU-state by default as a former member, and the only things it falls short on are a few recently-changed laws (as long as the EU gives it the same opt-outs it had in 2015 but that's a big if)
Nations may well block the UK, but they might not be able to, since there isn't a lot of framework for countries leaving and then re-joining the EU, and nobody knows if the UK will have to go through the whole process again or not. A lot of countries like Ireland and France would welcome another heavy net contributor to the EU budget.
Personally, I feel the main reason Brexit happened in the first place was because it was the right place at the right time: Being with the pound instead of the Euro and having stronger links with the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc, the UK wasn't fully in-sync with the EU. As I said earlier, the refugee crisis turned a lot of British people against the EU. The US and China were seen as much more reliable business partners at the time (bare in mind, this was before even Donald Trump became president). Two of the country's most popular politicians at the time - Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage - were hyping it up. In the long term, the EU are pushing for a federation which a lot of British people don't feel is right for them because they don't trust the EU to look after British interests (like say, if Argentina invaded the Falklands again, would a federal EU army be willing to lay lives on the line to protect a British Overseas Territory?) Many of them weren't exclusive to the UK, and many people said that if Italy held a referendum at the same time it would also have voted to leave. Many of these are the hopes and fears of the UK in 2016, and the chaos of the world since then has rendered it moot and made it a much easier decision now. I've always thought that if the Brexit referendum was passed a couple of years earlier or a couple of years later, the result would be totally different.
Sorry for getting so serious over a silly joke outro, but I did appreciate it and found it funny! :D

@@baha3alshamari152 Did your heart sank and shatter when Wagner wanted to overthrow Putin? Such a pity they didn't continue, it would've have ended better if they reached Moscow.
not only would us brits rejoining the eu stop a lot of political turmoil both withing the uk and towards the eu, which exists because of northern ireland and gibraltar. it would also set the future precedent that noone else should leave the eu. which is a good thing. most of the brexit campaign was built on lie and misinformation anyway, and if it was actually discussed, it would definitely win the favour of a majority of the british people.
In my (definitely not biased) opinion, Albania is the best EU candidate country
It's good to be an Albanian!

2025 is too soon to tell. Assuming the war is done with by 2025, 2030 is an optimistic yet realistic timeline.
correction greece doesnt fear recognition of northen cyprus nor does cyprus kosovo isnt recognized by greece because serbia and greece have been very close for a long time for example when serbia made an agreement with turkey greece made an agreement with albania so its not fear
(they dont fear recognition of norhten cuprys because nobody recognizes it not even the uk which helped turkey with the war )
From Guernsey, we were never in the EU but somehow brexit, something we couldn't vote on, still fucked us around. Live in the Uk currently and let's just say I'm looking forward to hopefully living in an EU country in the future (Uk or other).
What's CRNAGORA06?
from what ive seen in conversation with people where I live most of us want the UK to rejoin it seems to be mostly our government who refuses to do it how democratic
Hmm as a Romanian there is just one thing nobody talks about. Romania may veto Ukraine (if it survives the war), because they haven't given the Romanian minorities their language rights. Also Moldova has another problem too, it's called Gagauzia.
I know it was just a summary, but many people never mention these.
Ukraine will cease to exist in the future so this isn't an issue

I'd rather be as we are in terms of brexit. It was said to us when we voted that this downturn would happen at first and the downturn isn't caused by brexit as much as it is by the war in ukraine and previously covid.
Even if our wconomy doesn't get back to previous levels in the eu I'd rather that than be part of the United states of Europe
You missed Ireland.where's my country
Honestly, I think the best bet for joining members is 2027. Ukraine and Moldova have alot of work to do, which can't really be done immediatly and we don't when the war will end. I hope fastly, but we already 1 year in so...
Also several countries wants to reform the EU by eleminating veto possibilites and pass to a qualified majority system. That will take time and countries like France and Germany said that they will not accept new members if we don't do new reform.
Sure 2025 will be Poland presidency year, but I really doubt that there will be all conditions for Ukraine/Moldova/West Balkan membership other than Poland's interest to enlargement. So in the end, Lithuania's presidency in 2027 is the best bet.
Especially considering how Montenegro is currently an hybrid democracy and North Macedonia got vetoed by Bulgaria again...
UK we will always welcome you back into the family. We are all Europeans

Why is that a relevant problem?
EU members, Romania, Czechia and Slovakia stated they will also move their embassies to Jerusalem, Greece has a consulate in Jerusalem.
Also other EU potential members, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine, stated they will move their embassies to Jerusalem.
Because the countries that recognize palestine claim jerusalem as part of palestine
Yeah, but Romania, Czechia and Slovakia were already in the EU before they considered moving their embassy, and it's something that the EU has fought and will fight against. Whether they succeed or not, it's still something that the EU can use to put pressure on Serbia and Kosovo so that they can't join until their embassy is removed from Jerusalem.
@ExtraInExile
Serbia does not have an embassy, only Kosovo.
All the others declared that they will have in the future.
Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova are also applicants that did the same (and Georgia already has a consulate). The EU does not care about that?
@@ExtraInExile i think that its the right thing to do not to give in to the wishes of an apartheid regime but hey maybe thats just me
I honestly do not understand the requirement for adopting the Euro. Since there are opt-outs and no deadline why not just get rid of it? Anyway good vid.
Common currency is helpful, don’t remove the euro, just add deadline
@@snomcultist189 I don't want to get rid of the currency but the requierement of adopting it.
I'm not sure, but maybe because it sets a precedent. Like if the requirement wasn't there, then the EU bodies couldn't actually push any member states to get their economies in order to join the Eurozone. It would leave the EU without any initiatives.
@@ExtraInExile As in it wouldn't have enough compelling arguments for deeper integration and desired reform of the economies? Possible.
Personally, probably just my inner sceptic speaking, but I think it's a leftover from the more staunchly pro-centralisation group's failed attempt at a solid target for concentrating this area of economic policy in Brussels, but this couldn't be pushed through so they settled for a lack of deadline. I don't have any evidence of this, but it wouldn't be the first time of something like this and I just felt like sharing.
@@ShadowSkryba That's also a pretty good explanation. Might also be possible to fact check that by seeing if there are any articles about it in any EU treaty.

Extra in Exile, 2023
You know what is really sad?
Turkey joining EU guarantees the safety of Cyprus and the safety of trade to the country as it wont be locked by any Greek sea expansion since (from my understanding at least) EU countries share certain aspects of mutual borders, which is why British had to negotiate FISHING of all things when they were cutting themselves loose.
So, it would solve almost ALL problems with Greece.
Yet the president that agrees to pull off Cyprus and tries to give way will never get reelected as he'll be seen as weak.
Which is why this wont happen anytime soon.
Video lore summary: EBM doesn't want extra to get cancelled and thus uses cymbals to knock him out and therefore stop ranting about a stupid decision in the uk (it leaving the eu)
Idk how Georgia can even apply, they're in the Middle East, that is not Europe. I say that with no hostility, as a follow Orthodox Christian, I am practically required to like Georgia, but come on, might as well let Algeria and Egypt apply, they're also separated by a large body of water.
I honestly wonder what will happen first, Ukraine being officially in the EU or Ukraine being officially in NATO (it kinda is unofficially in NATO anyways).
I've never heard anyone put the Caucasus in the Middle East, that's pretty interesting. Georgia is technically a part of Europe due it stretching to the Caucasus Mountains, but "Europe" is hard to define, so I kinda get where you're coming from.
