Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia receive positive news about their quests to join the European Union, but hopeful Balkan countries appeared to slip back.
Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia received positive news Wednesday about their quests to join the European Union, but countries in the volatile Balkans region that have waited years longer to become members of the world’s biggest trading bloc appeared to slip back in the queue. In a series of reports, the EU’s executive branch recommended that war-ravaged Ukraine should be permitted to open membership talks, once it’s addressed some shortfalls.
On the other hand, some aspirants appear to be treading water. Bosnia remains plagued by ethnic divisions that make reform an almost impossible challenge. The commission said that it should start membership talks only after more progress was made. It expressed concern about the justice system and other rights failures in the Bosnian Serb part of the country. Serbia and Kosovo refuse to normalize their relations and stand last in the EU's line.
