Századvég: Three-quarters of Europeans reject fast-tracking Ukraine’s EU membership
['Attila Leitner']
The Budapest Times
Only 18 percent of Europeans would accept Ukraine’s immediate entry.
By contrast, 43 percent believe the Union should adhere to the traditional, performance-based procedure, while 32 percent reject Ukraine’s accession altogether.
In Sweden, 35 percent support Ukraine’s admission without conditions, while in Finland the figure is 32 percent.
The Századvég Foundation concludes that Ukraine’s accession would require not only the fulfillment of formal membership conditions, but also credible responses to the concerns expressed by European citizens.
The survey results indicate that fast-tracking Ukraine’s EU membership, without addressing these issues, lacks public support across the continent.
