Marta Kos: Moldova's and Ukraine's integration into the EU depends on each country's results
Published
European Commissioner Marta Kos has stated that the integration of the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine into the European Union depends on the results achieved by each country individually. The message indicates that each candidate state will be assessed separately, based on the progress it makes.
The Republic of Moldova and Ukraine were granted candidate country status for accession to the European Union in June 2022, after Russia began its invasion of Ukraine. Since then, both countries have tried to implement the reforms required by Brussels, especially in the areas of justice, the fight against corruption and the rule of law.
For Romania, the subject is of particular importance, because the Republic of Moldova is its direct neighbour, and the two countries have close historical, cultural and economic ties. Chișinău's accession process is being followed closely in Bucharest as well.
In conclusion, the timetable for European integration remains tied to meeting the conditions set by the European Union. For Moldova and Ukraine, the next steps depend on the reforms they carry out and on future assessments by European institutions.
