Is the European Union getting ready to be enlarged with Ukraine, Moldova and the Baltic states?
Well, that's going to be the big debate that is coming up in the next few months. There is a recognition that, yes, Ukraine has to have a membership perspective and negotiations probably will have to be started towards the end of this year with Ukraine. And Moldova, it's a process of several years. And then the big question is what to do with the countries of the Western Balkans that have been promised sort of membership or give it a membership perspective no less than 20 years ago. But this is a huge change that will dominate the politics of the European Union for years to come. And it's the beginning of a very important debate in the weeks and months ahead.
