BRUSSELS. Oct 12 (Interfax-Ukraine) –Hungarian Foreign Minister Anita Orbán welcomed the Verkhovna Rada's adoption of the law on the educational rights of national minorities, a move that will enable the opening of two additional negotiation clusters on Tuesday as part of Ukraine's accession to the European Union.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Anita Orbán expressed her approval of the Verkhovna Rada's recent adoption of a law concerning the educational rights of national minorities in Ukraine. This legislation will facilitate the establishment of two extra negotiation clusters during Ukraine's accession to the European Union. Orbán shared her thoughts on her X account following a meeting with her Ukrainian counterpart, Andriy Sybiha, on Monday in Luxembourg, during the EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting. She accompanied her message with a photo from the meeting.
Orbán stated, "Good to meet Andriy Sybiha in Luxembourg. We welcome today’s important step by the Ukrainian Parliament on minority education rights. A positive result of months of joint work and constructive dialogue." She also extended her gratitude to their Ukrainian partners, urging them to maintain the momentum. Prior to the meeting, Orbán informed reporters that if the law were enacted, Budapest would lift the restriction on opening the second and third negotiation clusters within Ukraine's EU accession talks during the fourth intergovernmental conference, which is planned for Tuesday in Luxembourg.
