The European Union should prepare for a large-scale expansion, 10 countries can become new members, the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell said.

“The idea of expanding was up in our discussion. Ukraine should become a new EU member, the Western Balkans too. <…> I think it would be good to define political goals to give impetus to the process. This also applies to us, since we must be ready to welcome 10 new EU members,”
