💶 Did you know that 82% of our exports go to the EU, and 93% of all cross-border payments are in euros? With SEPA, that means less waiting, lower costs and transfers that work just like local ones. 🌍

World War I ended after 1,568 days.

Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has now lasted longer.

The line was crossed. The war continues.

The time for a just and lasting peace is now.

Words matter. Online & offline, hate speech can harm people, divide communities, and undermine the values that bring us together.

This International Day for Countering Hate Speech, let's choose to prioritize positive content online and say #NoToHate, today, and every day!

[EU Delegation to North Macedonia @AmbassadorEU]

The EU strongly condemns the arson attack targeting vehicles of the Bulgarian Embassy in Skopje.

We welcome the swift arrest of the suspect and expect those responsible to be brought to justice. Constructive cooperation between North Macedonia and Bulgaria should continue.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Today, the European Union took a major step forward.

All Member States agreed to open the first accession negotiations cluster with Ukraine and Moldova.

At the first Intergovernmental Conference on Monday, we will open the cluster on fundamentals; the backbone of the accession process.

It covers the core values and principles on which the EU is built, from the rule of law to strong democratic institutions.

This is a recognition of the determination, courage and hard work shown by both countries in advancing reforms, even in the face of immense challenges.

And a signal that the EU’s offer of peace, stability and opportunity is unmatchable.

Enlargement is a strategic choice.

By bringing our nations closer together, we strengthen peace, security and prosperity across our continent.

In a world marked by growing uncertainty, a larger European Union is in our common interest.

Enlargement remains one of the EU’s greatest success stories and our best investment in our shared future.

Today marks the 1,569th day of Russia's brutal full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin’s so called ‘3-day special military operation’ has now lasted longer than World War I. Through unimaginable heroism, hardship and sacrifice, Ukraine remains unbroken.
