On May 1st, 2004, the biggest EU enlargement with ten new member states, primarily from Central and Eastern Europe, took place. The expectations and enthusiasm at the time of enlargement were immense. What is the economic, social, legal, and political impact of the enlargement after two decades? What are the prospects of the EU strategic autonomy ahead of the EU parliamentary elections and in the context of multiple global crises? The discussion will be held from the perspective of Slovene's experience with EU membership, and it will be taken from different disciplines (law, politics, and other disciplines).
