Kyiv should have the possibility of full membership, and not a “neighborhood agreement,” said the head of the Irish Foreign Ministry.
Irish Foreign Minister Simon Kovney said his country supports Ukraine’s early entry into the EU. This was reported on November 9 by Bild.
“Many Ukrainians are motivated by the dream of a different future. We have such a future in the EU today, in terms of peace, stability, prosperity, democracy and everything that follows from it,” the leader of the Irish Foreign Ministry stressed.
Ukraine, which is now literally fighting for its survival against a military superpower, he said, “must hope for full EU membership, not some kind of partial membership or neighborhood agreement.”
Kovney is confident that other countries, such as the Balkan states or the former Soviet republics of Moldova and Georgia, should benefit from the enlargement in addition to Ukraine.
It will be recalled that on June 23, the Council of the EU granted Ukraine the status of a candidate for joining the European Union.
In order to become a full member of the association, Kyiv must implement some anti-corruption reforms and changes in the judicial and law enforcement systems, as well as harmonize some laws with European ones.
The European Commissioner ruled the accelerated procedure for the accession of Ukraine to the EU
