The enlargement of the European Union is on the agenda of the talks taking place in Brussels, where summits are scheduled from today until Friday.
The EU-Western Balkans summit is taking place today, given that a number of countries in the region have already begun accession talks, with Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was last awarded the status of candidate country, hoping to also join the bloc. The European Council, which begins tomorrow, will discuss opening accession talks with Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova, which were also awarded candidate country status last year.
Romania is represented in Brussels by president Klaus Iohannis, who said the European Union should come closer and show clear signals both to the states in the Western Balkans and to Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia, especially in the context of Russia’s aggression. Over recent telephone talks with Moldova’s president Maia Sandu, Iohannis reiterated Romania’s support for the European future of the neighbouring state.
