Almost half (49 percent) of EU citizens are in favor of further EU enlargement in the coming years, with the most enthusiastic countries being Greece (74 percent), Slovenia (74 percent) and Poland (72 percent), according to a recent survey by pollster TNS Obop.

Older member states are less open to the accession of new states. The lowest support was reported in Austria, where only 29 percent of citizens back further enlargement. Other enlargement skeptics are Luxembourg, France and Germany, each with around 60 percent of citizens saying they are against opening the EU to new members.

In spite of the generally positive attitude towards enlargement, not all countries are equally welcome to join. Turkey and Albania can count on the most opposition, with 55 and 50 percent of respondents respectively against their membership.
