European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos has urged EU member states to open all negotiation clusters on Ukraine’s accession to the European Union “as soon as possible.”

Axar.az reports, citing Interfax-Ukraine, that she made the statement in Brussels on Monday ahead of the EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting.

“I call on all member states to officially open all clusters as soon as possible,” Kos told journalists.

As is known, work on all six negotiation clusters is already underway at the technical level due to the blocking of an official decision by Hungary, in particular, due to the position of then-Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

At the same time, there is an expectation in the EU that with the coming to power of his opponent Peter Magyar following his victory in parliamentary elections, the situation will change in Ukraine’s favor.

The European Commissioner is convinced that the first cluster can be opened during the Cyprus presidency (Cyprus presides over the EU from January 1 to June 30).

"As for the remaining five clusters, we hope that we can manage this in July. We have already done a lot, and now everything is ready for the official opening," Kos emphasized.
