Ukraine is in a position to open and "immediately" close several chapters of the accession process after the lifting of Hungary's two-year-long veto, António Costa, the president of the European Council, told Euronews in an exclusive interview.
"Fortunately, we didn't lose time during this period" of paralysis," he said, referencing a three-year long impasse on Ukraine's membership aspirations under former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who vowed to veto its entry.
