Ukraine’s EU accession bid advances after Kyiv passes minority rights law

Quick Look

The European Union will open new negotiation chapters with Ukraine on Tuesday following the passage of legislation by Ukrainian lawmakers protecting national minorities' rights, a key step in Kyiv's EU membership bid that had been blocked by Hungary over concerns about the Hungarian-speaking minority in western Ukraine.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Hungary had blocked Ukraine's EU membership bid due to concerns over the rights of the Hungarian-speaking minority in western Ukraine, a stance maintained since Ukraine submitted its application days after Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.

The status of the Hungarian-speaking minority in western Ukraine had long caused tensions with Budapest and Hungary had blocked Ukraine’s EU membership bid, officially submitted days after Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.

European Council President Antonio Costa on Monday said he welcomed “today’s decision by EU Member States to open two further negotiation clusters with Ukraine and Moldova”.
