Enlargement’s back on the political agenda

Nathalie Tocci is director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali, Europe’s futures fellow at IWM, Vienna and a part-time professor at the European University Institute. Her latest book, “A Green and Global Europe,” is out with Polity.As NATO heads to Vilnius in July, where it will need to respond to Kyiv’s aspiration of entering the alliance, and the European Union gears up for accession talks with Ukraine and Moldova, the political dynamic behind enlargement is shifting.Since the 2010s, the enlargement of Euro-Atlantic institutions had almost ground to a halt, with fatigue kicking in across Europe as the bloc grappled with internal constitutional, economic and political crises. Though formally ongoing, the accession policy was practically dead. And though the geographic freezing of NATO wasn’t quite as stark, with new members joining from the Balkans, as Russian President Vladimir Putin became increasingly confrontational toward the West, many allies — notably in Western Europe — g...

How Kosovo’s prime minister became America’s ardent frenemy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 20:52:19 GMT

PRISTINA, Kosovo — Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti has achieved the impossible in American politics: consensus among Democrats and Republicans.Unfortunately for Kurti (and his country), the point of agreement is that Kosovo’s leader is a stubborn, and at times, reckless politician who has undermined the joint U.S.-European effort to achieve a lasting solution for peace between Kosovo and Serbia.Washington has laid the blame for the recent outbreak of violence between Kosovo authorities and the Serb-majority communities in the north of the country squarely at Kurti’s feet and has tried — so far without success — to rein him in with public criticism. The conflict, which concerns the future status of the Serbian areas in North Kosovo and Pristina’s demand that Belgrade finally recognize its sovereignty, has spun further out of control in recent days, with Serbia arresting three Kosovar border guards and Kosovo closing the main crossing to Serbian trucks.Kurti’s critics ...

Mets Notebook: Grant Hartwig makes big league debut in win over Houston Astros

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 20:52:19 GMT

HOUSTON — Grant Hartwig’s decision to forego medical school has seemingly paid off. The right-hander was called up to the Mets from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday and made his major league debut in the 11-1 win over the Houston Astros.Hartwig allowed one hit and a walk in the ninth inning to secure the blowout victory in Houston.Syracuse Mets manager Dick Scott told Hartwig about the call up after the team returned from a series in Buffalo on Sunday. It was unexpected, but then again, Hartwig’s entire career has been a little unexpected.“Dick Scott told me right after we got off the bus yesterday,” Hartwig said Monday at Minute Maid Park before the Mets began a three-game series against the Houston Astros. “We came back from Buffalo last night and then found out around all of my teammates. It was a great experience got to call my parents afterwards.”When Hartwig was playing college baseball at Miami (Ohio), a professional career wasn’t on...

Verdugo’s bases-clearing triple helps Red Sox beat Twins 9-3, win fifth straight

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 20:52:19 GMT

Jovani Moran is probably sick of seeing Alex Verdugo at this point.When the Minnesota Twins reliever last faced Verdugo back on April 18, the Red Sox outfielder got ahold of an 84 mph changeup and barely kept it fair down the right field line for a walk-off single.Facing off once more Monday with two outs and the bases loaded in a 3-3 game, Moran got ahead 0-2 before Verdugo took him down the right field line again for what wound up being the game-winning three-run triple. Verdugo tacked on a fourth RBI later to lead the Red Sox to a decisive 9-3 win.The Red Sox (38-35) have won five straight and now stand only 1.5 games behind the idle New York Yankees for the final American League Wild Card spot. Verdugo’s play has been a big reason for the club’s recent surge, and Red Sox manager Alex Cora said he’s excited by the way Verdugo has responded since being benched last week for not hustling on a ground ball.“I want Dugie to play at (a high) level, I do believe ...
