Ukraine, Zelensky: ‘Progress is needed on accession, EU must keep its promises’

Brussels, 1 October (LaPresse) – “Ukraine has completed its internal screening process for EU legislation, and we have done so faster than anyone else before us. We have done well. We are fully ready to start Cluster 1 of the EU accession negotiations, the “Fundamentals” cluster. We need concrete progress in this regard.‘ This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during his video conference speech at the informal summit of EU leaders in Copenhagen. ’I am not referring only to Ukraine. Ukraine is fighting the enemy. Moldova has once again clearly demonstrated its European choice. How many more similar tests do we need? Of course, we also support the Western Balkan states: they too deserve to be part of our common European home,‘ he added. ’Europe,‘ Zelensky emphasised, ’must keep its promises, just as the candidate countries do their part.”
