Hahn: Przhino Agreement is not dead, and is important for elections

-

The Przhino Agreement has a future and it is important that the elections will be accepted and supported by the International Community, said EU Commissioner for Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations, Johannes Hahn, in an interview with “Radio Free Europe“.

“It has a future. We have experienced that usually all the various deadlines were met as originally agreed, or were slightly late. Therefore, the final battle is to hold elections. But I think what is important is to hold elections that will be accepted by the International Community. This means that there must be a clean electoral roll, the election must be free of intimidation from candidates, parties, or individuals. That’s what’s important right now”, says Hahn answering the question whether the Przhino Agreement has a future despite protests in the country.

According to him, it is also important to preserve the Euro-Atlantic perspective.The European Commissioner added that political parties are free to reach an agreement themselves, and the EU is ready to mediate.

Regarding the possibility that due to the migrant crisis there will be no enlargement of the European Union by 2029, Hahn said that no one believes in the next two or three years the EU will expand because the candidate countries are not mature enough for EU yet.

“I would say that the current refugee or migrant wave is something that affects us now. And no one believes that there will be any kind of expansion in the next two to three years because the candidate countries are not, so to speak, mature enough for expansion. But the current refugee crisis, I can say, revealed some cultural differences that still exist between Member States of the EU and we should do something. Europe is built on solidarity and we need to cooperate, not to exclude each other “, said the EU Commissioner.
