The head of European diplomacy, Kai Kallas, made it clear that official Brussels knows what to do if Hungary's veto on Ukraine's accession is not overcome.
Points of attention
- Efforts are being made to address the concerns of Hungary while ensuring that Ukraine fulfills its obligations, indicating a balanced approach towards resolving the issue.
- The ongoing dialogue between the EU and Hungary underscores the collaborative efforts being made to facilitate Ukraine's accession and strengthen European unity.
Hungary's veto will not stop either Ukraine or the EU
According to Kallas, the EU is convinced that bilateral issues should not hinder Ukraine's accession to the bloc.
Against this background, official Brussels is preparing for a possible blocking by Budapest.
We have a plan B and a plan C. But our focus is plan A, the essence of which is to get everyone's support," she said, recalling that the EU is conducting a dialogue with Hungary on lifting the veto. "Ukraine has its homework, and the EU also has to do its homework. And we are working with the Hungarian government.
She also stressed that if no one can reach a compromise, then official Brussels is determined to act decisively.
But if this does not work, we are already working on plan B, but I will not reveal it. We are still in the process, — added Kallas.
According to her, the reunification process is very important not only for Ukraine, but also for the European Union.
