EU could deny new member states veto rights as bloc pushes for enlargement
The EU is considering denying new member states veto rights on foreign policy and other unanimity-based decisions for a temporary period to make enlargement more politically acceptable, using Montenegro's potential accession as a template. The proposal aims to address concerns from existing members like France and prevent gridlock, while Germany advocates for accelerated accession and associate membership for Ukraine, which Ukraine rejects.
