During a visit to Ukraine, EU Council President Charles Michel warned against viewing a quick decision to start accession negotiations with the country as a sure success. Some of the EU member states are not yet ready for this.
They had made it clear that they wanted to think carefully before deciding on the next step in the accession process, the Belgian told journalists in Kiev on Tuesday.
First possibility in December
They are working hard to reach a united position at the EU summit in December. However, the political difficulties should not be underestimated – also because difficult budget decisions have to be taken at the same time.
The program of the EU’s top representative in Kiev included a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Michel had previously said upon arriving in Kiev that he wanted to use his visit to make it clear that the EU stands firmly on Ukraine’s side.
It is clear that despite the war, Ukraine is working hard to implement reforms for EU accession. He is convinced that the EU will be safer and stronger together with Ukraine.
