Charles Michel, President of the European Council visited Moldova and made a statement noting the European Commission should publish the next report regarding the EU accession process, which concerns the European perspective for Moldova, Ukraine, and Georgia, as well as the Western Balkans.
“I want to confirm that I intend to raise this issue before the European Council by the end of the year. This means that by the end of the year, the Council must decide on the issue of starting the process of accession negotiations with these countries. This will be a political decision, taking into account the report that the European Commission will prepare. I sincerely hope that a positive decision will be possible by the end of the year,” stated Michel.
