"Our assessment shows that the EU can welcome a larger number of members. However, there are areas where we see challenges that we must address. As candidate countries for accession progress in their reform processes, the EU must be prepared to welcome them. This means preparing our institutions, adapting our policies to new realities, and ensuring that our budget reflects our common ambitions," added Von der Leyen, in an idea shared by the Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos. #AmpliaciónUE #IntegraciónEuropea #EstadoDeDerecho (translated)

"Montenegro could conclude the technical part of negotiations by the end of this year or early next year. Next year, it could sign the accession agreement. Then there will be a ratification process, which could take two years. Montenegro could become a member in 2028," said Marta Kos, the Commissioner for Enlargement, at the presentation of the report. "It is possible to reduce the areas where one country can block a decision with a veto, while all other countries support it." #ŠiritevEU #Varovalke #VladavinaPrava (translated)

"to put in place specific arrangements that would limit financial support and access to the (single) market for certain Ukrainian agricultural products." Thus, to quell concerns regarding the possible entry of Ukraine, the agricultural giant, the Commission proposes "to put in place specific arrangements that would limit financial support and access to the (single) market for certain Ukrainian agricultural products," said European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos. #UnionEuropéenne #Élargissement #CommissionEuropéenne (translated)

"There are two ways in which the EU can strengthen itself. Through enlargement, which has made us stronger, or through more partnerships. And what Ursula von der Leyen was talking about (the associate member formula, ed.) means what we can offer, at most, to a country that is not European. We are very open to going further, but for the moment EU treaties do not allow for associate member status.” And to make the atmosphere even more solemn, the plan for Ukraine's membership, alongside other candidate states like Montenegro, Albania, and Moldova, was presented at a press conference with the Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, who expressed her “confidence” in how the process is progressing, even directly appealing to the EU Council to invoke “a strong political commitment from European leaders”: “In the last nine months we have achieved results far beyond those obtained in the last 25 years and this would not have been possible without the member states,” she stated. #Ucraina #UnioneEuropea #adesione (translated)

"This applies to new member states as well, as we do not want second-class membership. To join our Union, countries must meet very high standards regarding the rule of law. We must be sure that after accession they will never fall below those standards again. That is what we have learned from past experiences. It is about protecting ourselves. And whatever we do in this regard, we will follow clear procedures. When candidates meet the standards, they will be able to participate in all sectors of common policy, and this is a situation that benefits all actors," said Kos. #CrnaGora #EU #Članstvo (translated)

The author said that, together with Member States, they had made more progress on enlargement in the previous two years than in the past two decades. They wrote that the Union should now prepare for expansion, and said a communication published that day set out an approach based on realism and pragmatism. https://t.co/WGTgwE4kFF #EUenlargement #Unity #Pragmatism #EU

"In order to prevent bringing in another Hungary and Poland into the EU - the Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, always speaks of so-called Trojan horses - stricter rules and also stricter controls will apply in the accession treaties," explains Funda Tekin. #EUErweiterung #Westbalkan #Reformen (translated)
