Hungary to Approve EU Opening of Clusters 2, 3 for Ukraine After Minority Rights Law

EU Coreper is set to approve negotiating positions for opening clusters 2 and 3 of Ukraine's accession talks after the Verkhovna Rada passes amendments on national minority education rights on October 12. This removes Hungary's long-standing veto, unblocking a key phase in Ukraine's EU integration. The move signals a de-escalation of Budapest's opposition, though implementation of minority rights remains to be monitored.
