Though vast majority of EU countries welcome deeper integration with Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine, their “Associated Trio” initiative finds more support within Eastern and Central Europe, while the Commission and Western member states remain hesitant to adopt the term.
“We welcome the Trio’s initiative to foster coordination between the associated partners and with Brussels. This can lead to the sharing of best practices on reforms, on implementation, and on broader agenda for the future,” said European Council President Charles Michel during his opening speech at the Batumi International Conference on Monday (19 July).
This was the first time a high-level EU official used the self-ascribed “Trio” term to reference Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine, which have recently formally joined forces in a push for a deeper relationship with Brussels and eventual accession.
