Details: The President of the European Commission, in turn, noted the determination of Ukraine on the path of reforms, despite the constant Russian shelling.
Direct language von der Liaen: “Under continuous fire, Ukraine approves one reform by another. That is why the European Commission supports the opening of the first cluster of negotiations. Ukraine has fulfilled its task – now we have to act. After all, the entry process is based on merit. And Ukraine deserves to move forward.”
Prehistory:
- The European Union Summit was unable to have a common opinion on relations and further rapprochement with Ukraine through veto by Hungary.
- All EU countries, except Hungary, say that the European Council “confirms the inalienable right of Ukraine to choose its own” and “adamantly supports Ukraine’s path to EU membership.” They also praised the pace of reforms related to the entry process and greeted “significant progress”
- Also, all EU members, except Hungary, agreed to take note of the “assessment of the commission that Ukraine is ready to open the cluster of the foundation”. However, the formal opening of cluster negotiations requires the unanimous consent of all 27 EU members.
