Is Iceland about to join the EU? A high-stakes vote over fish & sovereignty | Top Report

Will Iceland finally unfreeze its path to joining the European Union?

Thirteen years after walking away from Brussels, 400,000 Icelandic citizens are voting in a high-stakes referendum to decide whether to reopen EU accession negotiations. With polls showing a dead heat, TVP World’s Alex Cadier reports from the island on the economic pressures, fishing rights debates, and geopolitical tensions driving this historic vote.

From soaring inflation and skyrocketing living costs to security concerns ignited by U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats toward neighboring Greenland, Iceland is torn between national sovereignty and European integration.

In this report:
- The surge of the "Yes" and "No" campaigns in Reykjavik
- Exclusive interviews with key campaigners and former Foreign Minister Gunnar Bragi Sveinsson
- Why control over fishing waters remains the ultimate dealbreaker for North Atlantic islanders
- How adopting the Euro could combat Iceland’s record-high inflation
