More countries, including Albania, Moldova, Ukraine, and Montenegro, may join the European Union by 2030, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said presenting another European Commission’s report on the 2025 enlargement package.
"The enlargement process is moving faster today than in the last 15 years. But we cannot afford to lose momentum. The global order is shifting, and Europe's security is increasingly at risk. Enlargement is an investment in a stable Europe and the majority of our citizens recognize this. There are no shortcuts for aspiring countries, but whatever the EU can do to support the process we must do. The window for enlargement is wide open and we have to seize the opportunity now. New countries joining the EU by 2030 is a realistic goal," she said, adding that these four countries have the best chances.

ReplyDeleteHungary’s government will not let Ukraine become a member of the European Union, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said, commenting on the European Commission’s new reports on the enlargement package and Brussels’ plans to begin accession talks with Kiev before the end of this year.
Delete"The Hungarian people has made it absolutely clear that it doesn’t want Ukraine to be a member of the European Union. And since issues of the European Union enlargement require unanimity among all of its member states and Hungary and the Hungarian people are quite clear that they don’t support Ukraine’s membership in the European Union, Ukraine will not be a EU member," he said in a statement released by the Hungarian foreign ministry.
According to the top Hungarian diplomat, the EU leaders are seeking to bring to power the opposition Tisza party, which is ready to support Ukraine’s accelerated accession to the EU, "this way pushing Europe toward war." "We will not let it happen because the Hungarian people doesn’t want to fight," he pledged.
