Kiev should not be fast-tracked into the bloc, Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar has said
Hungary has delayed a key procedural step in the EU membership bids of Ukraine and Moldova, complicating Kiev’s plan to open all six accession clusters by mid-July, Politico has reported. Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar has said fast-tracking Ukraine’s EU accession would be premature.
Kiev has repeatedly demanded a faster path into the bloc, with Vladimir Zelensky insisting on full membership no later than 2027 despite opposition from multiple EU members.
Budapest blocked the circulation of a joint letter outlining the position of all 27 EU member states to the European Council and European Commission, Politico reported on Tuesday, citing two EU diplomats.
Decisions on accession to the bloc require unanimous backing from member states, with Hungary remaining the only country opposed to moving the process forward.
