According to the portal, amid the lack of a breakthrough in the negotiations, no progress is possible until September 1, when the next technical meeting will be held. When beginning talks with Ukraine and Moldova on the cluster of the EU’s fundamental values in June, the European Commission revealed plans to engage in consultations on the rest of the clusters in July. The EU accession process includes 33 negotiating chapters grouped into six clusters. Admission talks are meant to synchronize a candidate country’s legislation with that of the European Union. Such talks typically take more than ten years, with no strict timeframes for that.
