European Union Expansion by 2030

-And we can forget about Iceland joining the EU for the time being.

Iceland has a rock solid europhobic block of fishermen, farmers, hardcore leftists and conservative nationalists making up 1/3 of the population - and those people will vote in a referendum. You need to convince almost everybody else - incl. a lot of eurosceptics - to vote yes, that was never a realistic scenario, all though the crisis could have made it close (maybe 55-45 in 2009)

I don't know if the EU still exists in 2030 (I hope it doesn't). Of the abovementioned countries, I only see Serbia become a member soon, apart from mini states and the rich non-EU countries, who will surely be accepted if they apply. The acceptable "max" has been reached for many countries.

Montenegro is more likely than Serbia, but perhaps they are a "mini state" to you.
