According to a special Eurobarometer survey published on September 2, 2025, conducted in candidate and potential candidate countries, citizens’ awareness of the European Union and enlargement policy remains extremely low, reports the Serbian Economist Telegram channel.
Only 48% of Moldovans and 39% of Montenegrins said they felt well or very well informed about the EU. At the same time, awareness levels are only 23% in Ukraine and just 20% in Serbia.
This highlights the need for more active and localized EU communication campaigns to explain the benefits and conditions of membership.
The study was conducted as part of the Special Eurobarometer and Perception Surveys commissioned by the European Commission. Thousands of respondents in EU and candidate countries were surveyed using a standardized face-to-face or online questionnaire, depending on the country. The aim was to identify the level of support for enlargement, perceptions of the EU, and the degree of awareness among citizens.
