Marta Kos stated that the current EU enlargement methodology was designed “for peacetime” and requires a radical overhaul.
Kos emphasized that Ukraine has already “made a positive contribution to Europe’s development,” prompting the European Union to rethink its priorities and, in particular, bring enlargement back onto the agenda. “Secondly, we have once again realized how important security is in Europe. Perhaps we had forgotten this,” she added.
Kos also said that Ukraine’s accession to the European Union should be seen not just as enlargement, but as a geopolitical necessity.
