Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has criticised European Union discussions on fast-tracking Ukraine’s closer integration with the bloc, warning that the move could deepen divisions in Europe and sideline long-standing Western Balkan candidates such as Serbia, Montenegro and Albania. Speaking in Bratislava, Fico reacted to reports linked to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz suggesting Ukraine could receive immediate associate status within the EU, granting institutional access without voting rights. He accused Brussels of applying double standards and questioned whether Ukraine might be incentivised to engage in peace talks in exchange for EU privileges, warning that such a scenario could distort the bloc’s enlargement policy and heighten political tensions across Europe. #fico, #eu, #ukraine, #eupolitics, #brussels, #serbia, #montenegro, #albania, #balkans, #euenlargement, #breakingnews, #worldnews, #geopolitics, #ukrainewar, #europe, #politicalcrisis, #firediplomacy, #europenews, #la
