Romanian President calls for candidate status for Georgia, Ukraine Moldova

Granting Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova a candidate status by the European Union will be a correct decision, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis said on Wednesday, adding that a decision may come by the end of June.

“In my opinion, candidate status should be granted as soon as possible. It is a correct solution from a moral, economic and security perspective,” he said after talks with French President Emmanuel Macron.

The Associated Trio applied for EU membership shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine in late February.

Now they are expecting the decision on the status.
