EU accession talks with Ukraine and Moldova are now formally underway. In practical terms, this means the EU membership process has moved from broad political support to structured negotiations focused on concrete reforms.
The first stage of talks centres on the EU’s “fundamentals” cluster. This covers key areas such as the rule of law, judicial reform, anti-corruption measures, democratic institutions, public administration and human rights.
Progress here is especially important because it shapes the pace of the wider accession process. For Moldova, the move strengthens its pro-EU course and gives weight to its reform agenda despite domestic and regional pressures. For Ukraine, it is an especially symbolic step, showing that the EU is keeping enlargement on track even during Russia’s war.
