Hungary Lifts Veto: EU Accession Talks for Ukraine and Moldova Resume

EU representatives have agreed to hold the technical stage of negotiations for Ukraine and Moldova’s accession to the European Union, which Hungary had been blocking since the summer.

elchi reports that the “Rapporteur” portal disseminated this information, citing sources.

According to the information, the next step will be the agreement of the common positions draft next week, which, if approved, could pave the way for the opening of two negotiation clusters for membership. According to an unnamed EU diplomat, Brussels hopes for a unanimous decision on opening the 2nd and 3rd negotiation clusters after the adoption of the bill on the rights of national minorities by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on October 12.
