At Euronews' Enlargement Summit in Brussels on Tuesday, key leaders called on Hungary to lift its veto on Ukraine's EU accession,
Euronews reports.
European Council President António Costa warned EU candidate countries and member states to make crucial decisions on enlargement or risk remaining "trapped by painful historical legacies," as Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned Hungary's veto as "specific support" for Vladimir Putin.
"Accession partners must decide if they have the determination to move forward with their European Union transformation or if they prefer to remain trapped by painful historical legacies," Costa said.
The European Council chief called on the bloc's 27 members to decide on enlargement or risk losing time.
"The European Union must also decide whether it can afford to lose more time, and if it is ready to evolve and adapt to the current geopolitical realities," he pointed out.
Costa's keynote address at Euronews' Enlargement summit, which kicked off in Brussels on Tuesday, coincided with the European Commission's release of its latest enlargement report.
