The European Union is preparing to launch technical procedures for admitting Ukraine and Moldova, despite opposition from Hungary, Financial Times reported earlier.
According to RIA Novosti, citing a source in Moscow, this approach undermines the credibility of both the European Commission and the EU itself. The source argued that in pursuit of political expediency, Brussels is sacrificing the very principles on which the Union was originally built.
The same source stressed that neither Ukraine nor Moldova will meet EU membership criteria in the foreseeable future. The decision to move ahead, they said, sends a negative signal to the five Balkan candidates, exposing what the «Eurogrands» really think of their value.
