The EC recognised the European perspective of the three states with its decision in June 2022, the document pointed out, giving a "renewed encouragement" to them to make "further progress" to meet EU requirements.
It also said the EU and the Council of Europe would continue acting together in order to help candidate countries and potential candidates for EU accession to make "apparent advancement" in their reform-making process to pass the EU’s membership criteria.
“Our joint programmes in the Enlargement and Neighbourhood regions will continue to support reform efforts in the fields of human rights, democracy and the rule of law”, the report concluded.
