Informal European Council: Press remarks by High Representative Kaja Kallas upon arrival

Q. [Inaudible] For membership of the European Union, I wanted to know what your position is on that subject?

Well, clearly, Ukraine is on the membership path, and we are discussing today as well how to really accelerate that, giving that we have now new circumstances. So, maybe we can move with other things that have been red-lined or blocked before. So, let us see whether we can move with that.

Q. Full-fledged membership accelerated, not this short-cut that has been [inaudible]?

There are different proposals on the table. And of course, we can discuss those proposals that are on the table, but, right now, the process is such as foreseen for everybody else, unless we have agreed otherwise. So, let us discuss tomorrow. Thank you!
