This paper draws possible scenarios for the future of the EU and suggests where the EU will be in 2017. It looks at six main scenarios: (1) termination; (2) variable geometries; (3) status quo; (4) incremental integration with variable geometries; (5) incremental integration without variable geometries; and (6) political union. The author shows that it is not unrealistic that the EU may be enlarged within 2017, at least to Croatia, Macedonia, Albania and Montenegro and at the most to all these countries plus Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia.
