The European Commission headed by ex-Prime Minister of Luxembourg
Jean-Claude Juncker is not going to provide the Eastern Partnership
countries – Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine
– with perspectives of EU membership. This comes from Juncker’s
priorities, Vzglyad newspaper says.
According to Jean-Claude Juncker, the EU should develop close
cooperation, association and partnership with its Eastern neighbors
Moldova and Ukraine to further strengthen their economic and political
ties. He says that one should not speak of EU expansion within the
next 5 years.
To note, at the moment, 6 countries, namely Iceland, Serbia,
Montenegro, Turkey, Macedonia and Albania seek to join the European
Union.
