Commission boosts EU membership bid but scepticism lurks
Two countries should be given candidate status and Georgia a “European perspective”.
On Friday, the EU Commission delivered its opinion on the requests by Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia to become members of the European Union. In the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February, the three countries lodged urgent applications with Brussels. Following evaluation of their bids, the Commission now recommended to the European Council, meeting this week, that Ukraine and Moldova be granted official EU candidate status “on the understanding that the country [countries’] will carry out a number of further, important reforms.”
