European Commissioner for Neighborship and Enlargement Johannes Hahn has sharply criticised the initial rejection of negotiations for Albania and Northern Macedonia's European integration.
He has said this could bring disastrous political consequences and instability in the future. Hahn during an interview for the news agency “APA” has said that an open question remains if it comes to a veto from France, broadcasts news.net.
Let's be honest, after the EU Council decision, I don't want to say it, but we are powerless. We need to take into account the proportions, that 25 states have been declared with the same”, he said.
Hahn has said France's president, Emmanuel Macron, requires that the EU initially have an internal expansion ahead of further steps and that some other members have supported this stance, but stressed that his argument was that these two things should be conducted in parallel.
One of them lasts for years, even though if we had followed the Macron line then one of them would go with the other and from the prospect of membership could last about 30 years. This is no perspective, no sign of reform”, Hahn ordered.
It is clear that France currently does not want expansion. You can push it once, even then you have to have arguments. Perhaps even the second time the German Bundestag's deadlines have been limited, but frankly now there are no arguments. Confidence on this topic in the EU has been severely damaged”, he stressed.
