Hungary to Approve EU Opening of Clusters 2, 3 for Ukraine After Minority Rights Law

EU Coreper is set to approve negotiating positions for opening clusters 2 and 3 of Ukraine's accession talks after the Verkhovna Rada passes amendments on national minority education rights on October 12. This removes Hungary's long-standing veto, unblocking a key phase in Ukraine's EU integration. The move signals a de-escalation of Budapest's opposition, though implementation of minority rights remains to be monitored.

Ukraine Advances EU Accession After Hungarian Minority Law Concession

This development unblocks critical paths toward EU integration, with all EU members agreeing to open the second and third accession clusters for Ukraine and Moldova. Implementation of the new minority law and sustained Hungarian support remain key uncertainties.
