Blocking the negotiation process

Hungary once again refused to agree to the launch of negotiation clusters 4 and 5 for Ukraine and Moldova during the EU accession negotiations. This is reported by media outlets.

These two blocks remain the last unopened ones in the negotiations between Ukraine and Moldova with the EU. Cluster 4 is titled “Green Agenda and Sustainable Connectivity”, while Cluster 5 is “Resources, Agriculture and Cohesion Policy”.

Position of the Ukrainian side

Vsevolod Chentsov, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration, noted that Hungary is currently not raising any new demands related to the rights of national minorities.

According to the official, Budapest representatives explain the delay by the need for additional examination of documents concerning the relevant negotiation chapters.
