Except for Croatia, which became a member in 2013, none of the other Balkan states that applied for membership have achieved this goal. This article aims to recap the evolution of the Enlargement Policy since 2004 and to explore explanatory factors for the uncommon duration of these applications and which have led to a simultaneous &#8216;enlargement fatigue&#8217; and &#8216;accession fatigue&#8217;. The specific case of North Macedonia will be used as a case study.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="pt"><p><![CDATA[Resumo Na sequência da adesão de 12 Estados candidatos no período de 2004 a 2007, o processo de alargamento da União Europeia atravessou um período relativamente longo de estagnação. Com exceção da Croácia, que aderiu em 2013, nenhum dos outros Estados balcânicos que apresentou a candidatura viu o seu propósito realizado até ao presente. O objetivo deste artigo é explorar fatores explicativos para a duração invulgar dos processos de candidatura atuais e que têm levado a um simultâneo «cansaço do alargamento» e «cansaço da adesão». O caso específico da Macedónia do Norte será usado como estudo de caso.]]></p></abstract>
