According to the author, the status granted to Ukraine and Moldova is just a political signal for people.
“But no more than that, because the obstacles are practically insurmountable.
This shows what a theater of the absurd the whole process of joining is,” Schiltz wrote.
He expressed the opinion that neither Ukraine nor Moldova came close to fulfilling the conditions for obtaining this status.
“In truth, the status of a candidate is a dummy that promises a lot, but does not oblige to anything,” the author of the article added.
He also expressed confidence that none of these countries will become a member of the European Union in the next 10-15 years.
“And if that happens at some point, both countries will probably have a much smaller territory than they do today.
This candidate status is like pointing a finger at the sky,” Schiltz concluded.
On June 23, the EU summit agreed on the status of accession candidates for Ukraine and Moldova.
The European Union is also ready to grant Georgia the status of a candidate for joining the bloc, but for this a number of conditions must be met.
