UE pregătește deschiderea a două noi clustere de negociere pentru Ucraina și Republica Moldova

The EU is preparing to open two negotiation clusters for Ukraine and Moldova's accession, focusing on internal market and competitiveness. If Ukraine passes the minority rights law, the clusters could officially open on October 13. EU ambassadors agreed to advance these clusters, which are essential for the candidates to align with EU standards. Ukraine's progress has been stalled due to Hungary's demands regarding minority rights, but a political agreement was reached earlier this year. Ukraine must submit a written negotiation position to the EU, and if the minority rights law is not adopted by October 12, the opening meeting will be canceled. Successful completion of these steps could lead to Ukraine benefiting from gradual integration into the EU.
