integrating who or what?
the shorter the distance between country and more similar speech = easier to integrate.
due to significant amount of things weve got in common after several thousands of years worth of intermingling.

novgorod isnt a connection to norway, thats kiev->sweden, we are the ones with finland and slavs that made russia.
egypt is not europe and greece was already a very universalist cesspool importing distant foreign gods/peoples

romania-bulgaria should become a damn containment zone
