Details: To the journalist’s remark about the year 2030, she repeated that she considers it a realistic deadline.
“But accession to the EU – and this must be realized – is not only a technical process of membership negotiations, which in itself takes time. And it is also a political ratification in all member states, because the accession of a new member means a change in the EU treaty. That is why it must be ratified in the format required by each of the EU countries. And this always takes a certain amount of time. Yes, during the 2004 enlargement, it took about a year and a half,” the ambassador explained.
