Un ministru austriac se opune aderării accelerate la UE a Ucrainei. Care sunt motivele? • Newsweek România

Austria's European Affairs Minister Claudia Bauer opposes Ukraine's rapid EU accession, criticizing President Zelensky's push for a quick timeline. She emphasizes the need to consider the EU's capacity to absorb new members and warns against creating a 'two-speed community'. Bauer insists that all candidate countries, including Ukraine, must adhere to the same rules and earn their membership through their own efforts. While negotiations began in June, significant reforms are still needed in Ukraine, particularly in combating corruption. Many EU officials do not expect accession before the mid-2020s, especially not before the end of the ongoing war with Russia.
