Hungary Has Once Again Blocked Ukraine’s Progress Toward EU Membership

Hungary has once again opposed Ukraine’s further progress in the EU accession process. At a meeting of the EU Council’s Working Group on Enlargement (COELA), Budapest blocked the opening of negotiation clusters No. 2, “Internal Market,” and No. 3, “Competitiveness and Inclusive Growth,” for Kyiv.

The blocked clusters cover key issues of Ukraine’s economic integration into the EU, including the functioning of the internal market, business development, and enhancing the economy’s competitiveness. At the same time, it is noted that Hungary did not block the opening of a similar Cluster No. 3 for Moldova.

Due to Budapest’s position, consideration of the issue of launching negotiation clusters for Ukraine has been postponed to the next COELA meeting, scheduled for July 22. This will be the last meeting before the summer recess of the European Union institutions, which will last until September 1.
