António Costa outlines EU priorities for defense and enlargement

European Council President António Costa has outlined his agenda for the upcoming political year, emphasizing the need for a more resilient and autonomous Europe. During his planned tour to meet with heads of state and government, Costa intends to focus on defense, competitiveness, EU enlargement, and continued support for Ukraine.

In discussions regarding European integration, the challenges facing Ukraine remain a central theme. While the push for EU membership is a long-standing goal, issues such as corruption and the economic impact of ongoing conflict continue to shape the discourse surrounding the country's path toward integration.
