Політичних перешкод для відкриття переговорних кластерів на сьогодні більше немає - Сибіга

This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sybiga in an interview with Ukrinform.

“The opening of these two clusters is a significant step towards Ukraine's EU membership. Our ambition is to open all six by the end of the year. We have streamlined relations with Hungary, which allowed us to unblock this issue, and today there are no other political obstacles to the opening of clusters, "Sibiga said, adding that this sounds in the assessments of all European partners and this is the approach of the Irish Presidency of the EU.

"By the end of the Lithuanian presidency (by the end of June 2027 — ed.), we will try to close the maximum number of them," Sybiga said.

According to the minister, his personal dream is to move the issue of European integration from the foreign policy paradigm to the domestic one.

Details

At the Ukraine-EU intergovernmental conference in Luxembourg on October 13, clusters 2 and 3 in the negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the EU were officially opened.

Context

"Despite the war, Ukraine is reforming, we are ready to adopt the necessary legislation. I believe that the votes in our parliament will be record-breaking in terms of the adoption of the necessary array of legislation related to Ukraine's accession to the EU, "the Foreign Minister stressed.

He noted that after the opening of the clusters, the relevant negotiation processes begin, and Ukraine will already start closing the chapters.

What's next

According to him, Ukraine has already started negotiations with Lithuania, which will chair the EU Council in the first half of 2027, on the next steps of European integration.

"We need it, it's our choice, and we pay the highest price for it. It is very important that this path is actively continued and we, accordingly, receive fair assessments of our homework, "the head of Ukrainian diplomacy stated.
