EU Enlargement faces major hurdles as Ukraine, Georgia, and Turkiye struggle with corruption and stalled reforms. European Commission Vice-President Kaja Kallas warned that no shortcuts are allowed, and membership remains a merit-based process. Ukraine’s 2030 EU target is under threat unless significant progress is made, while Georgia is deemed a candidate in name only, and Turkiye faces a frozen path due to declining democratic standards.

Kallas emphasized that alignment with EU policies, strong governance, and anti-corruption measures are crucial. The EU insists that reforms, rule of law, and media freedom are non-negotiable for accession. Without urgent improvements, all three countries risk being left out of the bloc, highlighting the EU’s insistence on security, stability, and credibility in its enlargement process. #EU #Ukraine #Georgia #Turkiye #EUenlargement #KajaKallas #Corruption #RuleOfLaw #MembershipBlocked #NoShortcuts #EuropeanUnion #EU2030 #Governance #MediaFreedom #Democracy #EUReforms #CandidateStatus #EUWarning #PoliticalCrisis #EUAccession #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld
