The European Union’s executive arm will meet later Tuesday to finalize a decision on whether to recommend formally opening Ukraine’s membership talks, with expectations of a positive outcome for Kyiv but with conditions attached.
The European Commission will likely recommend that member states open formal negotiations upon the completion of reforms and legislation on minorities, anti-corruption as well as “de-oligarchisation” and lobbying, according to people familiar with the matter and documents seen by Bloomberg.
The move comes as the EU looks to inject impetus into its enlargement policy following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Moscow’s attempts to destabilize Europe. The final wording of the opinion was yet to be finalized, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the process is private.
