Just witnessed history in the making: the opening of the first accession negotiations cluster with Ukraine and Moldova.

Ukraine and Moldova have delivered on reforms, and today Europe delivered on its promise.

Montenegro also continues its steady progress towards EU membership, closing two more negotiating chapters and demonstrating that reforms deliver results.

EU enlargement is one of the best investments we can make in our shared security, stability and prosperity. Now it is time to maintain the momentum and open the remaining negotiation clusters.
