Ukraine moves closer to opening two negotiating clusters
Clusters No. 2 and No. 3 cover the internal market, competitiveness and inclusive growth.
EU member states agreed on the same decision for Moldova. They also agreed to close three negotiating chapters for Montenegro and one for Albania.
Background
- It was previously reported that Budapest was ready to unblock the opening of negotiating clusters in Ukraine’s EU accession talks, but had set a condition. Hungary’s key condition was that the rights of national communities be guaranteed.
- On October 12, the Rada passed a bill on education for national minorities.
