Dimitry Kochenov expert EU enlargement for Foreign and Commonwealth Office UK
Prof. Dimitry Kochenov (EU Constitutional Law) submitted expert evidence to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (UK) on the distribution of competences between the Member States and EU institutions in the field of EU Enlargement, during a visit to FCO in March.
