The EC will soon provide a written assessment of Ukraine’s implementation of the recommendations for starting negotiations on accession to the EU.

As the chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament, Ruslan Stefanchuk, noted, this will happen in the coming days. And after that, a series of negotiations will take place.

“We very much hope that at the end of this year, the European Council will decide to open negotiations on Ukraine’s full membership in the EU,” the speaker said.

Stefanchuk reminded observers that the Ukrainian parliament fulfilled all seven recommendations from the European Commission by adopting the necessary laws.

According to the speaker, the opening of negotiations on the accession of Ukraine at the end of this year is a historical moment, “which might be more important than receiving the status of a candidate”.
