Details: In addition, Jourová said the European Commission recommended that until March 2024, Kyiv work on four reform priorities, including the fight against anti-corruption, de-oligarchisation, regulating lobbying, and minorities’ rights.
Background: In the report published on 8 November, the European Commission recommended starting accession negotiations with Kyiv, but before that, Ukraine must implement some of the reforms that have not yet been implemented. The Ukrainian government talks about Ukraine’s high level of readiness for accession and promises to complete negotiations in two years.
The EU leaders summit in December will consider whether it should start accession talks with Ukraine. At the moment, Hungary may stand in the way of the green light, promising to block a positive decision for Kyiv.
