Antonio Costa leads the efforts to support Ukraine's request for accession to the European Union, despite the opposition of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. With an important summit in Copenhagen, Costa is testing the support of member states to simplify the accession process, proposing that the opening of negotiation groups be done by qualified majority, not by unanimity. Moldova, a partner in this process, is affected by the same blockage. Costa considers EU enlargement a crucial geopolitical priority, and the European Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, will visit Ukraine to assess legislative progress.
