The European Union will approve a draft negotiation framework for Ukraine's accession to the EU after four additional points of Ukraine's "homework" are completed.

Speaking about the enlargement of the European Union, he noted the important progress on this path that has been made over the past year.
We have made very important progress on this path. First, Ukraine has been granted candidate country status. Secondly, we have launched the preparation of the negotiation process for Ukraine's accession to the EU. Next week we will submit a draft negotiation framework for consideration by the EU member states
