The President of Lithuania Khitanas Nausna proposed to be recorded on January 1, 2030 as the date of Ukraine’s entry into the EU.
He said this at the plenary session of the support of the Ukrainian forum in Kyiv.
The safety of Europe depends on the security of Ukraine. That is why Ukraine’s permission to accelerate Ukraine. I propose a date on January 1, 2030, ”said on February 24 in Kyiv.
He added that the opening of the first negotiation cluster may be possible in the next weeks.
Let’s take the path of Ukraine to the EU inevitable, ”the president emphasized.
In February 2025, Hungary blocked negotiations on Ukraine membership in the EU. Budapest did not support the opening of the first cluster of negotiations “Foundations”, which includes the rule of law – a key criterion for Ukraine to join the EU.
The Polish side suggested that the EU agrees with Ukraine with a plan of reforms in the field of justice and public administration. A letter with appropriate conditions received broad support, but was not approved from the position of Hungary.
Budapest established additional requirements, including the protection of national minorities. This can significantly slow down the negotiation process, since each subsequent stage requires unanimous support for all member states.
