- Abstract:
- France is one of the European countries with the highest rates of popular disapproval of countries in the Western Balkans joining the European Union.

Using a combination of 2020 survey data representative of the adult French population and in-depth focus groups with French voters, this report offers a comprehensive insight into the views of the French on whether or not the countries of the Western Balkans should join the European Union.
