EU opens formal membership accession talks with Ukraine and Moldova.
The European Union formally opened the first stage of accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova on Monday in Luxembourg. The process had been delayed for two years due to a Hungarian veto under former Prime Minister Viktor Orban, which was lifted following his election defeat and a subsequent agreement on minority rights. The opening of the "fundamentals" cluster marks the beginning of a multi-year process requiring alignment with EU laws and standards.
