Zelensky calls on EU to open first negotiating cluster on Ukraine’s membership

President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine has completed its legislative screening process and is ready to open cluster one in its EU membership negotiations.

The Head of State made the remarks during his address at the plenary session of the European Political Community Summit in Copenhagen, a Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“We need real progress. Ukraine has completed the screening process, we are ready to open cluster one, and this must be done just as agreed,” the President emphasized.

He also urged summit participants — leaders of EU member states — to support Moldova and the Western Balkans countries on their path to European Union membership.
