“…The Assembly has shown greater activism in extending the ‘community method’ to areas predominantly following intergovernmental lines, like police and judicial cooperation (Braghiroli 2014; Farrell and Héritier 2007). Even in areas where the Council remains the primary decision-maker (Bressanelli and Chelotti 2019; Trauner and Ripoll Servent 2016), the Parliament's influence has grown in shared and supporting competences. 6 Recent research indicates that in areas related to the handling of illegal migration and asylum, the Parliament has frequently challenged the Council's positions and effectively played a role in shaping the EU's response (Krotký 2023; Maricut 2017).…”

Over the last decade, the European Union has faced multiple crises that have affected the direction and the nature of the integration process. This study focuses on the challenges posed by the Belarusian-EU border crisis (2021) and the proposed travel restrictions towards Russian citizens (2022) in the context of the Nordic-Baltic EU member states. The study addresses their impact through the double prisms of regionality and level of governance. The study looks at how national elite narratives on borders and the movement of people travel to the supranational context, in this case the European Parliament. While the Parliament is often overlooked in favour of the Council or the Commission, this study regards it as an effective analytical bridge between domestic and supranational decision-making levels. To achieve its empirical goals the study relies on governments’ official communiques, while the parliamentary analysis is based on pre-vote debates and Parliament’s roll-call votes. The article finds that, while the national narratives highlight a growing convergence of governmental narratives in adopting or justifying restrictive bordering measures, the EP debates and votes highlight the relevance of ideology and partisanship when it comes to the issue and the growing significance of the gap between mainstream and non-mainstream forces.

“…Therefore, the pressure of polarisation and politicisation is likely to become a determinant of political life within, but also between, the EU institutions. Over the past years, we have seen how the European Council has made inroads into the legislative game (Bressanelli and Chelotti 2019;Bickerton, Hodson and Puetter 2015). With polarisation raising more conflicts among member states, this activist role of the European Council might cast a long shadow over the other institutions, especially if it stresses interand intra-institutional conflicts on the extent and depth of European integration.…”
