        My question is, bigger countries are part of the EU. Many former USSR republics have joined the EU. Even Turkey has applied to join the EU, but not Suisse.

        What holds back this tiny state from becoming a full fledged member of the EU ?

          Nothing. They are traditionally non-aligned (for ~1000 years) & reckon that that has worked well for them to date. the working relationship suits them & the EU.
          A bit like what holds Monaco back from joining France?🤷
