RT by @EU_Commission: The 2004 enlargement was a defining moment for our Union.

One that transformed the societies & economies of new member states.

And made our Union stronger together.

Today, we proudly hoist the flags of these countries.

We unfurl our Union's flag, celebrating #20YearsTogether.

The accession referendum was one of the first things I was old enough to vote in, I'm glad I could be a part of it :) https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:oxo226vi7t2btjokm2buusoy/post/3krfvjmei3s2s

The EU is stronger with the 10 countries that joined our Union two decades ago.

Today, we proudly unfurl our Union's flag to celebrate #20YearsTogether.

This is the symbol of our unity, solidarity and prosperity.

💙 20 years.
💙 10 countries.
💙 1 enlargement.

On 1 May 2004, the citizens of 🇨🇾 🇨🇿 🇪🇪 🇭🇺 🇱🇻 🇱🇹 🇲🇹 🇵🇱 🇸🇰 🇸🇮 became citizens of the EU.

Since then, we have witnessed growth and prosperity. Real wages have doubled from 2004 to 2023 in these ten countries, while poverty levels have halved.

Our Union has benefitted from more innovations. The free movement of goods, services, capital and people, have brought greater opportunities for people and businesses.

Tomorrow marks 20 years since our European family grew larger.

The historic 2004 EU enlargement brought new opportunities and greater prosperity for citizens across our Union.

Tonight, as our building shines brightly, we celebrate two decades of our unity and progress.

#20YearsTogether

An animated logo reading '20 years together' is projected onto the Berlaymont building of the European Commission at night. The number '0' of the logo is composed of blue, yellow, and orange streaks, symbolizing a fireworks display. The stars of the EU flag appear alongside the logo.
