Von der Leyen, Kiev accession screening ready in the summer - last hour. "We are making excellent progress in the screening process" of the reforms to be made in view of membership, "and this is very good but I don't think we will be ready before the elections" The work on the different positions in the negotiations takes time.

I believe we'll be ready at the beginning of the summer", says von Der Leyen at a press conference in Brussels, responding to a question on the timing of Ukraine's accession negotiations.
