The EU is in a state of waiting: Hungary hampers Ukraine's EU accession talks

Hungary prevents the adoption of a draft negotiation framework for Ukraine's accession to the EU. This is due to Hungary's position on the issue of national minorities in Ukraine, Radio Liberty correspondent Rikard Jozwiak said on Twitter.

 

 

According to the journalist, Hungary opposes the adoption of a decision on Ukraine because of 11 bilateral issues on national minorities in Ukraine.


The European Union plans to start accession talks with Ukraine at the end of June, but this requires a consensus among ambassadors.
