Even Montenegro is not likely to enter soon.
Full of Russian oligarchs there as well.

Yeah they have been all over the California elections for being corrupt because they are counting votes. Granted they count votes rather ridiculously slowly, but since Republicans are also against using machines to count votes I don't see what option they give anybody.

This is a theoretical exercise. I am not endorsing Turkey's, Albania's, Bosnia's, or Kosovo's membership in the EU.

Yeah, Albania is infested with corrupt American and Russian oligarchs. Not sure the EU would want them in.

Only saw the first two episodes, and after the first he didn't really mention the inheritance tax stuff.

What left wing stuff has he shown the right wing masses? I guess he's not a climate change denier, that's a plus

He's  gone into environmental conservation and biodiversity, pro local Co ops, anti-corporations, anti brexit,  pro mutual aid and local community building, importance of third spaces, and overall the general plight of the proletarian small scale farmer and importance of the skilled working class.

Say what you will, but it appears Albania is better at fighting American corruption than American courts are.

Low bar

Damning with faint praise once again. 
Even EU standards are higher than that. I mean, Albanian ones.   

Albania would only get in, at best, assuming the international situation somewhat stabilises, in 20-30 years. The UK is more likely to re-enter.  Assuming countries in the EU want them back and a miracle consensus happens in the UK.

Apparently all tickets for Iranian supporters have been withdrawn. What a dick move

Also treatment of Uzbek and Senegalese teams an absolute disgrace.

In the Uzbek case particularly mad to see Fabio Cannavaro a World Cup and Ballon d'Or winner being searched on the tarmac.

Edit: Obviously bad for all.

Pricing them out was not enough, I guess.
