LVIV, Ukraine, March 4 — The president of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola called on Saturday, during a visit to Ukraine, for the country to be allowed to begin EU membership negotiations this year.
Brussels granted Kyiv formal candidate status in June last year, four months after Russia launched an all-out invasion, but the process of joining the European Union usually takes several years. But Metsola, who met with President Volodymyr Zelensky and the speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, Ruslan Stefanchuk, is among those in Brussels who are optimistic that both the membership bid and reforms can be fast-tracked.
In a message relayed on social media after the meeting, Zelensky thanked Metsola for her role in securing the European Parliament's support for the membership application.
