According to him, Ukraine demonstrates a very good pace on its way to the EU..

“Hopefully this interim report that the Commission is due to submit (the date has not yet been fixed, but most likely it will be somewhere closer to summer) will allow us to record the proper dynamics, and within a few months, which we will have until.

True, he found it difficult to predict the timing of the negotiations.. At the same time, Chentsov noted that Ukraine wants to properly prepare for them and maximize the percentage of adaptation of the Association Agreement. He explained that this is necessary in order to “move at the pace” later..

The ambassador was also asked a clarifying question about the law on the selection of judges of the Constitutional Court and the comment of the Venice Commission on it.. Chentsov said in response that this is “a question, including sovereignty”.

How the Ukrainian Constitutional Court will function? This issue is on the agenda of the dialogue at the highest level today.. I think we will find the right way out of this situation and the fulfillment of this criterion will be credited to us,” Chentsov concluded..
