and then there were quite serious suspicions that this law was adopted not so much for the sake of the fight against the oligarchs as for certain political interests , which now look like they compromise the ukrainian state in the eyes of the civilized world as a state that covers the private political interests of a certain circle of people with the fight against the oligarchs and when they are targeted the commission will adopt its conclusion regarding this anti-ligarchy law, the verkhovna rada of ukraine will change it, as you will demand it, the commission is not a target, ukraine is also expected the approval of a new law on media that would comply with the norms of the european union, this is also a very important law for us, for journalists, for the entire civilized world, i will remind you of a glaring example of lawlessness during this wartime period, when officials from the rtr concern disconnected the direct five and tv channels from digital broadcasting

espresso, by the way, you can now see a qr-code on the screen that will allow you to sign a petition in support of our tv channel and, in general, democratic television broadcasting in the country, which will contribute european integration, our ukraine, let me remind you that we are talking about these channels that always advocated for the history of european integration, in contrast to many of our colleagues who did everything possible to prevent it from happening, and there is still no legal explanation as to how the decision about this is a disconnection from digital broadcasting. how did the channels artificially reduce their audience? why did the so-called single telethon consist of representatives of some channels, but others were not allowed to attend? i will remind you that we are talking about information broadcasting in a single telethon is attended by a large number of channels that have never engaged in information broadcasting, and information television channels are separated from this single telethon, all this is an example of flagrant disrespect

for the norms of the european union, if all this is not corrected, the candidate's status will of course be selected or frozen sooner for everything, so as not to embarrass ukraine, we will formally be candidates ; in fact, my seventh condition is to implement the recommendations of the venice commission concerning national minorities well, in general, we should adopt a framework law on national minorities, this has been discussed for a long time and i think that it will not be a big problem when the norms of this law will correspond to the interests of national minorities in ukraine and their harmonious development in the ukrainian state. candidate status, and in fact, if there was no war now, we would have to first fulfill these conditions, i repeat, and only then

get the status of a candidate for membership of the european union, but the war changed the course of action, it is obvious that now the deadline for fulfilling these conditions is set for 2022 , but if the war in ukraine continues and there are all signs that the war in ukraine can be long and exhausting, this deadline can be extended for a certain period. let 's try to understand how, in principle , our opportunities will develop with of european integration, well, the first moment, let's create an ideal moment for ourselves, when the ukrainian state fulfills all the conditions that, in principle, will make its candidate status full-fledged, prevents the possibility freezing or canceling this status and

at the same time ending the period of hostilities on the territory of ukraine or a peace agreement with russia, which i do not believe in, or simply a pause in hostilities that will allow ukraine to either receive a guarantee of security from western countries, or what would be best to become a member of nato and ensure itself from further and so on the part of russia, or share the fate of other nato member countries in the event of a nuclear conflict between nato and russia well, then everyone will be in trouble and then of course we will be able to talk about the catastrophe of civilization, the death of tens of millions of people in this land from nuclear attacks from both warring camps, of course, ukrainians can be among these tens of millions, ukrainian cities can be destroyed by nuclear ash, as well as the cities of our neighboring countries, as well as the cities of russia and the united states. it will already be the apocalypse. we are not discussing it now, it is science fiction which, in

principle, can become a reality at any moment as long as there are nuclear weapons . some other petrological programs and for now let's talk about reality so the war has stopped, what happens then the road to negotiations with the european union begins well, let's look at other countries, the candidate country of the western balkans, serbia is waiting for the start of negotiations until its issue with kosovo is resolved, the negotiations are frozen north macedonia is waiting for the start of negotiations because they are

blocked by the republic of bulgaria, which believes that it is necessary for macedonia to respond to its claims of a historical and linguistic nature, this means that many do not like that the macedonian language it is called macedonian history. macedonians are not like that, they try to consider the bulgarian king samuel as their king, even though his capital was in a fortress on the territory of north macedonia . it will be clear until the macedonians clearly say all this and do not give a guarantee for the development of the bulgarian national minority in macedonia, and the macedonians believe that all these people are macedonians for me, as bulgarians, that is a special moment, we will not allow such negotiations to be held. albania is waiting for

the start of negotiations, not because it has any complaints against it, but because negotiations with it should take place in a package with north macedonia. no montenegro believes that it is not ready for victory and hopes that it will be ready for negotiations in 2025 or so. this means that it does not apply for negotiations. although it is a candidate of the european union or not, it means that we can imagine that ukraine is approaching the negotiation process. here it will be very important that we have there were no problems with any of the countries of the european union, or the procedure itself for admission to the european union ceased to be a consensus procedure and was decided by, let's say, the majority of votes so that no one could block such a procedure for the beginning of the victory. if this is not the case, then

of course we will have the opportunity to start negotiations . there will be some problems with neighboring states that will have questions about how national minorities live in our country or something else, these states have the full opportunity to block the negotiation process for years. north macedonia is a candidate into the members of the european union i think i will tell you now from what year i think she is a candidate since 2005, since 2005 she is a candidate, the negotiations have not yet started, how many years are they worth 17 years this is quite serious 17 years, the republic of macedonia is waiting for these victories at first it

was against it, there was greece, now there is hope for bulgaria that next week the bulgarian parliament will unblock this whole story through negotiations with macedonia and albania and they will begin, but we repeat that macedonia was waiting for the start of negotiations , it fulfilled all the conditions for 17 years and is still waiting well well, let's hope that we can have a faster deadline that will allow us to conduct these negotiations faster, let's look at some ideal options, croatia, a neighbor of macedonia, is already

a member of the european union, it became a candidate in 2004, the victory did not start until the end of 2005 , then there is a process of checking the legislation on compliance with the possibility of holding negotiations, then a year of delay because the republic of slovenia, which was already a member of the european union, had claims against croatia regarding the territorial waters, the conflict was not resolved, but slovenia agreed that it would resolve this conflict with the help of international disputes and would not interfere with the process of negotiations with croatia

, the negotiations began in the ninth year. thus, at the end of the 11th year, they were finished, it was fast negotiations took place for two years, and in 2012 a decision was made on croatia's accession to the european union. it has not yet joined. the question of accession must be approved by all the parliaments of the member states of the european union . ratification thus, even at this stage, there may be delays, well, in the end, on july 1, 2013, croatia became a member of the european union from application to accession. 10 years have passed since application

to membership. 9 years have passed. we still have conditional candidacy because in order to even start the possibility of negotiations, we need to fulfill the conditions about which i said, so this is the most optimistic option, a year for the review of legislation, three years for negotiations, three years, so here is something a little for negotiations, in fact, and a year for the ratification of agreements, so if we are optimistic

in order to fulfill these conditions, in 2023 there will be no real fears among our neighboring countries about the start of the negotiation process and we will start them . in 2030, in 2033, we will become a member of the european union, that is, after 10 years, we will have something to consider, and not in the optimistic version, in 2038, if we follow the croatian path and

do not, like north macedonia, wait before it has been 17 years since the beginning of the negotiation process, to put it mildly , such a term is difficult, well, let's try to understand, let's say another option, how is the progress of the accession of montenegro, which has not even started, did not start negotiations, montenegro received recognition of its european prospects, this is what georgia has now received, we skipped it in 2006 in 2008 , she applied for eu membership, but in 2010, there

was a recommendation to grant candidate status, and she received this status in december 2010. negotiations had already begun in 2012, two years after after the start of the negotiations, let's see what sectors are being negotiated in general, each sector needs time so that you and i simply understand what is being discussed by sections, what is being discussed, the free movement of goods is currently ongoing, negotiations on this are being demanded, serious reform is being required, the free movement

of labor is continuing throughout europe negotiations, further reforms are needed freedom of creation and movement of services, further reforms are needed, victory continues, free movement of capital, further state reforms are needed procurement requires further reforms corporate law requires further reforms of intellectual property law significant reforms are needed what has been said has been continued since the 14th year it is already being talked about, but all these sections have been under negotiation since the 14th year, some of them are still being continued in the 17th competition policy negotiations have begun only in the 20th year, financial services only in the 15th year , they have been conducting for 10 years for 7 years, negotiations are ongoing, they say that serious reforms are needed and the information

society and the media need further reforms, this already after montenegro threw out all these conditions that require us to fulfill agriculture and the development of rural areas , significant reforms are needed, food safety, veterinary medicine and phytosanitary policy, significant reforms are needed, and fishing, significant reforms are needed , transport policy, further reforms are needed, energy is needed, further tax reforms are needed , there is no of serious problems, the only section so far from those we read is economic monetary policy and further reforms statistics and social policy and significant reforms are needed in industrial policy and e- enterprise there are no serious problems and negotiations continue trans-european networks further reforms serious reforms are needed in regional policy in judicial policy about the judge these are different sections of science and there are no serious problems

here either this is one of the sections that has already been closed, all education and culture have no serious problems and the ecology section is closed, completely incompatible with european law, negotiations began only in the 18th year consumer rights protection, further reforms are necessary, the customs union has no problems, foreign relations, there are no problems, and here the section on foreign policy , defense and security policy is closed, there are no serious problems , financial control, serious reforms are needed, budget issues, serious issues, serious reforms , thus, out of 33 of these sectors, only three sectors managed to be closed. how much in 10 years? in 10 years, only three sectors were closed, and now the government of montenegro

says that it is not even going as far as speeding up these negotiations. imagine what we have there will be negotiations on all of these sections on all of these 30 33 sections well, i won't even explain to you how difficult it will be so that everyone understands how it will be and this is also an important point that needs to be said about which i am now watching at the same time more negotiations in serbia, which are suspended in connection with the situation with kosovo, serbia wanted to close all sections of the negotiation process with the european union until 2019, only

sections related to science, education and culture are closed, everything else is open, the victory does not continue some for 10 years, some for 7-8, and it is also important that not even in montenegro, all sections are open in serbia already once two three four five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 14 sections that are not even open and there are questions relations with kosovo are so open that they have not moved forward. i am simply telling all this so that you and i understand how difficult it all looks in general and how

long we will advance on this path. it is good that we have taken this step, but they will ask and why are you you are happy when you tell all this, well, i apologize if you want to use the subway train, if you don't go to the station, you simply won't go. consider that you are now standing in front of a closed door, the station was closed, let's hope that it 's just in our fantasy that it's closed because the subway's morning work period has still started, because this is a boss warehouse and at this moment in fact what happened: you entered, approached the ticket office and bought a ticket, you were allowed to buy a ticket now you

have to do something with this ticket to prove that you have the right to this ticket, well, let's say you are a student, if you will not prove that you have the right to such a concession ticket, because it is a concession ticket, the controllers in front of the turnstile will take it away from you, but i hope that you will prove your right, we will prove our right and we will show this ticket and go to the escalators and start driving here. in fact, this will mean that for now we just bought a discount ticket, we have to prove the right to this discount ticket to the metro staff and then

the journey on the escalator begins. someone is standing with bags, it is not even known who will get there faster, the one who pinches may get tired, the one who tries may just pass the last distance because he will get tired of standing and will overtake the one who ran. on the platform waiting for the train well, let's hope

that this train will arrive quickly or that a decision will be made about our entry into the european union, that there will be ratification, but for this all these procedures need to be worked out, but earlier so that we stand behind with closed doors at the station on the street. it was cold. can someone say that it's hot, and we were told yes, no, you will never leave on these uh, you on these na- on this transport. this is not your transport . let's take a minibus. for you, you haven't proven that you can use them. you don't have the funds, the right, it doesn't matter what, and this is the moment when the

door opened for us. when you signed the association agreement, it meant that we were brought to this station, allowed to look at it and communicate with by its passengers or with the staff when they go out for a smoke break, now we are already in the lobby itself, cheers, cheers , in the lobby itself, and let's hope that we will not be kicked out of it again into the street, this is a very important moment that, to be honest, inspires me only now, i perfectly understand that now you don't have to think about it, if we didn't ask what i would like

, in fact, i would like it to be not the european union itself but the nato summit yesterday, and that nato itself would make a decision that ukraine is part of nato, i would be much more calm, i will honestly tell you because well-being, economic development, investments, this is all very important, but for a country that is at war, of course , security is much more important, but you have to be satisfied with what you have, you understand what is there, and this is a very important point. i have just a few minutes left to thank those who asked questions

, i will try more of these questions answer that there will be an opportunity in the interactive that will take place today at 5:30 p.m. when we will host the broadcast with the dear mr. mykola september 5:30 p.m. right yes at 5:30 p.m. because we have such a half hour exactly you won't be able to talk about the answers to the questions there, so i immediately apologize to mr. roman tchaikovsky and mr. oleksiy lutsky, the answers to your questions are at least partially because, dear mr. oleksiy, the question must be about 6 because i wanted to make such a special broadcast today, but i will to answer and n mykola will answer more complex questions n roman mr. oleksiy i will generally give mr. mykola let him answer them and i will be more careful let's say yes well i'm joking of course we are very curious let's address these questions that you asked.
