If Serbia, Belarus and Russia switch to proper democratic rule of law, equivalent to Western Europe, why not? Integration is the best way to prevent wars. Just because they’re barbaric dictatorships now doesn’t mean they can’t get better in the future. Just look at Germany im 1940 versus now
True for Serbia and Belarus, but Russia is so big - both in terms of surface as well as population - that it wouldn’t really work with the way the union is currently structured. I’m not even sure if it’s possible to restructure the union in a way that allows Russia joining without them becoming an hegemonic power within the union itself.
