EU Council working group to discuss Ukraine accession clusters 4 and 5 on Oct 20

The EU Council's enlargement working group (COELA) will review screening results for negotiation clusters 4 and 5 on October 20, potentially advancing Ukraine's EU accession talks. This follows the formal opening of accession negotiations in June 2024 and the subsequent screening process. Progress on these clusters would mark continued institutional momentum, though final decisions require unanimous member state approval.
