The European Commission intends to present a positive assessment of Ukraine’s progress in its movement towards EU membership on 8 November, but this assessment may contain additional conditions amid the upcoming decision to start accession talks with Kyiv.

Moldova, which received a candidate status along with Ukraine last year, is also keen to start accession talks as soon as possible.

Georgia wants to obtain the status of a candidate for accession to the EU. At the same time, the European Union expects that countries seeking to become members of the EU will coordinate their foreign policy with it, in particular, on the issue of sanctions.
