Ukraine is making progress on its path to EU membership

The statement on this issue was made by European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Cos during the presentation of the EU enlargement report in the European Parliament.

She drew attention to the fact that in terms of the speed of implementation of reforms among EU candidate countries, 4 countries were the most successful last year.

Montenegro, Albania, Ukraine and Moldova stand out in particular. They have made the most progress in reforms over the past year, Kos emphasized.

In her opinion, the new long-awaited enlargement of the EU is a very likely scenario in the coming years.

Kos emphasized that the main candidates for membership are extremely ambitious.

What is important to understand is that Montenegro intends to finalize negotiations at the end of next year, Albania at the end of 2027, and Moldova and Ukraine in 2028.

Next year will be a moment of truth for all candidate countries, but especially for those that have presented ambitious plans to complete negotiations, Kos warned.
