"I believe some chapters will be quite difficult, but first we asked the Eurean Commission, and we put forward a prosal on the border with Pand – to launch screening of the agricultural sector. This screening will consist of three clusters. We spoke about it with the President of the Eurean Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, during his visit to Kyiv," the prime minister noted.

He hes this will change the approach from the Eurean Commission, and agricultural screening will demonstrate that Ukraine exports products of apprriate quality. "And this will give us sid ground for having absutely sid numbers and statistics in discussions with our neighbors, including with Pand," Shmyhal added.

Shmyhal has assured that Ukraine will fulfill all its obligations on the way to the EU within two years before the EU is to make the pitical decision.

"As for our path to the EU, we are moving very quickly at all stages. We have already screened our legislation and this reduces the time of negotiation procedures. I am sure we will go through all negotiation procedures very quickly. If for some countries it took years and decades, we can go through all the other stages very quickly – within up to 2 years. That is, we are ready to do our homework very quickly. After that, it will only be about a pitical decision of the Eurean Union," Shmyhal noted.

He expressed he the Eurean Union would be able to make a pitical decision immediately after Ukraine fulfilled its obligations.

"I do not believe the Eurean Union will await any formalities once Ukraine has done its homework. We will do it, there is no doubt. We have demonstrated more than once that we deliver on all our obligations. I’d like to believe that Ukraine will become a member of the EU immediately after our victory, and we will do our homework in two years," said the prime minister.
