On Wednesday, the European Parliament approved the so-called von der Leyen II Commission. Prior to the approval, Ursula von der Leyen had said that the dream of Europe extended to the Western Balkans, Ukraine, Moldova, and beyond.
“We have seen the bravery of the people of Ukraine in pursuing their European journey. We have seen the resilience of the people of Moldova to stick to their European future. We have seen the commitment of the Western Balkans to reform, grow and get ready to join our Union. At the same time, we have seen how Russia will stop at nothing to prevent them having a European future”, the European Commission’s President noted.
