Unfortunately Serbia doesn't qualify to become a member given their current situation; lack of democracy and accountability, and a puppet state of Russia. However I think there's some merit in opening talks on relevant clusters. This could be an incentive for the people of Serbia to push for change.

I grasp what you're saying and the consequences. Have been studying this since referendum. Any recent evidence that the UK wouldn't be qualified now to rejoin the EFTA? If it would take almost as long as rejoining EU, then not worth it.Worth a try if Brits still not convinced on EU. Worth enquiring.

Ivey Mauritz @iveymauritz.bsky.social · 23/06/2026
I say that it's a good step towards the EU, because it is. That's what the UK did in the past, which made it easier to join the EU. But UK does have benefit of past EU membership and hopefully hasn't strayed too far since. Psychologically it might help Brits make the final push towards EU.

Ivey Mauritz @iveymauritz.bsky.social · 23/06/2026
I agree, but some nuance: If EFTA is our only current way forward, then better than current situation, especially IF admitted straight away. Seen a recent opinion from Norway? Iceland & Norway are considering going EFTA to EU. EU is much better choice and we should try asap, but could take years?

EEA / EFTA – Brexit – An Irish Guide
Austria, Denmark, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland and UK concluded the EFTA agreement in 1960. Its primary purpose was to liberalise trade in goods without pursuing the political integration objectives of the European Economic Communities; the EEC.  Finland joined in 1961 followed by Iceland in 1970 and Liechtenstein in 1991.

We're going around in circles, and we're both quoting from the same source. I'm not dismissing your quotes or your reasoning either. Btw, I'm not even arguing for the UK to join another customs union outside the EU. Simply saying EFTA would be positive step until EU. Has UK even asked EFTA recently?

Why the condescending attitude? Not appreciated. We're all trying to help find solutions, open-minded. You're referring to the discussions from years ago, when the UK didn't know what it really wanted during negotiations. Still not sure now it seems. EFTA, EU, UK, and times have changed.

The Norway opinion you mentioned during Brexit negotiations wasn't the official opinion from the Norwegian govt, but rather from conservative MP Heidi Nordby Lunde, rightly fearing the UK could mess up the EFTA. Legally, any EFTA member can join a customs union outside the EU; would be unpractical.
