“The expansion remains one of the priorities of this commission. And we have started negotiations with Ukraine in June 2024. Ukraine demonstrates stable progress on the way to EU membership. We are currently in the process of bilateral screening according to various EU thematic clusters,” the European Commission said.
“In the case of Ukraine, we use an accelerated procedure – screening is at an unprecedented speed. This was made possible by the close cooperation of the European Commission experts with Ukrainian partners to ensure the most effective passing of this stage,” Guyom Meriee said.
He specified that “this work (process screening) will last until autumn. ”
Merie has confirmed that Ukraine is ready to open the first talk cluster “Fundamentals”, but this requires the consent of all 27 EU Member States.
“Ukraine has fulfilled all the conditions for opening the first cluster-the so-called cluster” Fundamentals “. But, as you correctly noted, this requires the consent of all Member States,” he said.
Recall that the opening of the first cluster was blocked by Hungary, putting forward additional conditions for the rights of the Hungarians of Transcarpathia.
The mayor added that “the discussion is currently in the EU Council.”
“For its part, the Commission provides comprehensive support to Ukraine in all possible forms-technical, political and financial. We continue to do so in the future, as well as maintain active dialogue with all Member States,” the European Commission spokesman emphasized.
Earlier, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmigal stated that Ukraine has reached the fastest rate of accession to the European Union among countries that have ever sought to become an EU member.
It is known that in February 2025, Hungary blocked the opening of the first negotiation cluster with Ukraine and promised to block the opening of clusters until they consult with the population on this issue.
Consultations, accompanied by manipulation and lies by the Hungarian government, should end at the end of June.
