Abstract

Among the current EU leaders, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has held office the longest. She was instrumental in steering the EU through the refugee crisis, the eurozone crisis, Covid-19, and, to some extent, Brexit. This article is a tale of many Merkel's with many faces. German presence in the Balkans has been strong, yet, on par with German foreign policy not very visible. Albania, North Macedonia, and Montenegro's entrance to NATO - the only significant move forward in a long time – is the achievement of the United States of America (USA) and Turkey. During Merkel's period, Western countries have tried to redefine the Balkan region. In renaming, carving, dividing up the region, the EU had several goals. One is to separate EU Balkan member states from their regional and cultural roots. Another is to create a second category called a divisive and discriminatory term "Western Balkans". Overall, Merkel's foreign policy has been successful as an economic plan, while the political approach has not.
