Today in Brussels, EU leaders officially shifted Moldova and Ukraine onto separate accession tracks, ending the informal 'package deal' approach to their membership.
The decision follows Moldova's completion of 93% of required reforms under an EU growth plan, signaling its readiness to move faster. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed that while the two nations started the process together, their progress will now be judged purely on individual merit. During the summit, Moldova was promised another €503 million in aid to bolster its security and judicial systems.
Expect negotiations to accelerate for Moldova in early 2027 as it attempts to bypass the complications of the ongoing war in Ukraine.
