1. Time for western balkans to get in

2. Eastern Europeans are as european like Arabians are asians and North africans are African.

3. At this rate of expansion, might as well add Japan to the list of European Union too 💀

4. It can’t possibly be twenty years, surely I’m not that old

5. Great picture surprised I havent seen it earlier.

6. I was too young for the time, but Poland joining to many was so insane to many.

7. Shouldn’t be counted from 2004 tho?

8. Thanks, now i am horny at work…

9. Such a good time. Full of optimism. Hope for a brighter future. It did turn out like that for some of the countries that joined, such as Estonia, for example.

10. Somewhat misleading, these countries became official members on 1st of May 2004, so still around 1,5 weeks to go.

11. Good times. I still remember the happiness and optimism, hope for the bright future.

    Not everything went well in past 20 years but I am very happy with the outcome. Glad to be part of this union.
