Ukraine is taking an important step on the path to the European Union, European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos said, commenting on finalizing the process of screening Ukrainian legislation for compliance with European one.
"Today marks an important step on Ukraine’s path to the EU. In the most difficult circumstances, Ukraine has completed the screening process of its entire legislation at record speed, laying the foundations for its European future. We now need to maintain momentum for reform," she wrote on X on Tuesday.
As reported, Kos arrived in Ukraine on Monday, September 29, for a three-day visit.
