We witnessed a historic moment this week.
The European Council has granted the candidate status to Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Moldova 🇲🇩, and to Georgia 🇬🇪 the perspective to become a member.
This decision by the EU leaders strengthens us all.
Our Union has a history of young democracies getting stronger together.
The aspiring countries are working to implement the necessary reforms, such as rule of law, fundamental freedoms, economy and functioning of democratic institutions, to move to the next stages of the European accession process.
These reforms are also good for the countries, good for the democracy, because it strengthens the competitiveness of the countries, and ultimately, they are good for the citizens.
