“Credibility cuts both ways” was my message to our frontrunner candidate countries for joining the EU, and to the members of the European Parliament.

“No Trojan Horses” - that’s what I told the European Parliament. We need to put the right safeguards in place.

Belarusian freedom fighters Maria Kalesnikava and Viktar Babaryka are out after years in prison and here in my Brussels office with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya. Maria says she was always “free in her mind” during her detention - inspiring. All political prisoners must be released and repression ended

Building an independent Europe means bringing candidate countries into the EU. In Berlin, I discussed the progress of future member states with the German Bundestag and Foreign Ministry. Credible reforms remain at the centre of the process, along with strong guarantees to make our Union stronger.

Iceland is a trusted partner and close friend of the EU. I had a timely exchange with Iceland's Foreign Minister Gunnarsdóttir on the future of our relations. We agreed to stay in close contact as we address our changing geopolitical environment in these turbulent times.

Our 90€ billion support package to Ukraine is about more than financial assistance. It reconfirms our commitment to build a stronger & more stable Ukraine. A Ukraine able to defend itself in the short term while preparing for its EU membership, recovery & long-term prosperity.

Welcome Moldova and Ukraine to the EU roaming free area! As of today, you can ‘roam like at home’ because we are preparing a home for you in the European Union. The benefits of our Union bring Europeans across the continent closer together - also ahead of EU accession.

Congratulations Spain and Portugal for 40 years of EU membership! Successfully transforming from nascent democracies into democratic powerhouses, you continue to inspire. With democracy again under attack, EU Enlargement strengthens democratic resilience across our continent.

2025 was a good year for #EUEnlargement - let's make 2026 even better! Thank you to the 🇩🇰 Presidency and Marie Bjerre for the good cooperation over the past six months. I look forward to continuing our efforts for a stronger & more united Europe under the 🇨🇾 Presidency.

A few days ago, Belarus released 123 political prisoners. A moment of hope. But the fight to release all political prisoners is not over. That is why we need independent voices like Andrzej Poczobut & Mzia Amaglobeli. Congratulations for the 2025 Sakharov Prize!

Closing 5 accession chapters today, Montenegro concludes a great year of progress for EU enlargement. It is decisively accelerating its road to the EU. To cross the finish line, reforms to support independence of courts, anti-corruption measures & free media must now intensify.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 15/12/2025

After a successful 2025 for Moldova's EU aspirations, we are moving to the next phase of technical negotiations. Today, we received guidance from all 27 Member States to instruct our work on Moldova's reform trajectory. Another step to bring Moldovans closer to the EU. 👇

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 11/12/2025

We are picking up speed & intensity on Ukraine's EU path. Today, Member States have provided guidance to enter a new phase of accession negotiations on fundamentals, internal market & external relations. A 10 point plan will prioritize reforms including on anti-corruption.

We are now halfway through the implementation of the Growth Plan for the Western Balkans. Important progress was made, but a lot more work lies ahead to improve citizens' lives across the region. Let's step up efforts together & bring the positive change people rightly expect.

When done right, a larger Union makes us more secure & prosperous. This requires: 🔹credibility of reforms in our candidate countries, 🔹safeguards for the integrity of our Union, 🔹moving beyond Enlargement. My speech at the Enlargement Forum: link.europa.eu/RHXgWw

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 17/11/2025

Opening the final of all 6 negotiating clusters with Albania, is a strong display of its commitment to its EU path. The coming year will be Albania's moment of truth to accelerate reforms. It will be Albania's chance to seize the momentum & make Albania's EU path irreversible.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 13/11/2025

In Warsaw today to mobilise private investments at the Rebuild Ukraine conference. This requires a credible reform agenda & strong anti-corruption measures. With Ukraine, we are working hard to build the trust to progress decisively & prepare for a successful reconstruction.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 12/11/2025

Moldova is on track to join the EU. Now is the time to accelerate reforms & fulfill the high ambitions. Moldovans voted loud & clear for their rightful place in Europe. 5 times in 5 years. Today is the moment to unite & build a national consensus to deliver on this promise.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 07/11/2025

This week, we wrapped up a year of assessing the reforms delivered by our future member states. 2025 saw significant progress on #EUEnlargement. Take a look behind the scenes of Enlargement Package Day 👇

With President Macron and Minister Delegate for Europe Haddad, we discussed Bosnia and Herzegovina’s European future with its Presidency. 🇧🇦 leaders have recently delivered on their Reform Agenda. We must now build on this positive step, deliver on reforms & start accession negotiations.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 31/10/2025

If done right, new members will make our Union more independent. Only a unified Europe, will give us back control over our own destiny. This effort requires a close involvement of national parliaments. Thank you for the valuable exchange at the 🇫🇷 Senate & National Assembly.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 31/10/2025

When factories of lies and disinformation thrive, the integrity of our information space is a matter of national security. Our democracies rest on independent media. We need stronger cooperation to fight back, and ensure free and reliable information for all.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 22/10/2025

Now is the time for strategic choices. Also for Serbia. It needs implementing EU reforms it has repeatedly promised to deliver. It needs responding to what citizens ask loud and clearly. Now is the time to deliver & lead Serbia to the EU. The EU's offer will not be matched.

With peace taking root in the Caucasus we see a once in a generation chance to advance regional cooperation and to strengthen Europe's independence. With Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, we explored how to make infrastructure projects happen and bring Europe and Asia closer.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 20/10/2025

All countries stretching from Europe to the borders of China are in Luxembourg today. We want to connect through new infrastructure for more freedom to act & more options to trade. For more independence for all nations along this route. Today is a first step 👇🏼

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 20/10/2025

Georgians want a European future. Yet disinformation & lies about Europe are promoted by those in power. Opposition are jailed. Media & civil society silenced. This must stop. We condemn all repression & urge Georgian authorities to engage in dialogue with their own citizens.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 16/10/2025

Today we agreed on a defence readiness roadmap and the steps to take until 2030. Ukraine will play a central role. Because a secure Europe needs a strong Ukraine. Together we are working to provide the strongest guarantees for peace & stability for all of Europe.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 14/10/2025

Ukraine has made remarkable progress on EU reforms. Reform momentum must be upheld for progress towards EU accession. I discussed with Deputy Prime Minister Taras Kachka how the EU can help with strengthening the law enforcement agencies for the benefit of all Ukrainians.

Before Russia’s war of aggression, most overland trade between Asia and the EU moved through Russia. That route is now closed. We’re investing in the Black Sea region to open new links. Today, I signed four agreements to help private investors join us.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 11/10/2025

EU brings stability and prosperity by empowering independent societies. We invest in infrastructure, digital and energy connectivity. We bring legal certainty. So our close partners can grow more strongly and shape their own future.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 10/10/2025

Global Gateway is about a Europe that can act. In a world where power creates dependencies, a united continent needs integrated energy, transport and digital connections. We invest to build stronger economies, support reforms & reduce dependencies. To shape our shared future.

Two years ago, floods devastated my home region of Koroška. Today, I see communities rebuilt - thanks to solidarity and 🇪🇺 support. This is the true spirit of Europe.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 03/10/2025

Croatian expertise and support are essential for addressing the challenges of Western Balkan partners on their EU 🇪🇺 path. Insightful, in-depth talks today with my friend Gordan Grlić-Radman and @andrejametelko.bsky.social on advancing enlargement.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 03/10/2025

Grateful that 🇭🇷 is a strong ally of EU enlargement as well as our support to Ukraine and Moldova. With Prime Minister Andrej Plenković in Zagreb, we reaffirmed the need to take enlargement forward as the best way to address many of the challenges facing Europe.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 01/10/2025

I ended my 3-day visit to Ukraine meeting the anti-corruption institutions. Their contribution to democratic accountability builds the foundation for a strong and independent Ukraine. It is a necessity to bring Ukraine in the EU. They have our full support.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 01/10/2025

Ukraine's integration in the EU is happening. With Prime Minister Svyrydenko, I discussed the next steps of EU accession and the key reforms needed to advance. Rule of law, democratic institutions and anti-corruption bodies are the best guarantee for a strong and independent Ukraine.

Honoured to join President Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Defenders Day. Together with Minister Marie Bjerre 🇩🇰, we paid tribute to all those who risk their lives to safeguard freedom and independence. For Ukraine 🇺🇦 and for the rest of Europe 🇪🇺

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 29/09/2025

Today I started my 3-day visit to Ukraine in Uzhhorod engaging with minority communities. European integration brought protection of minorities across our Union. Through accession, we want to build on this and bring strong protection of minorities in Ukraine too. My speech 🔗 link.europa.eu/Pfdvyr

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 24/09/2025

Today, I addressed the 🇧🇦 Parliament. This house needs to show ownership. We have seen this country move forward when there is political will. The EU accession process offers the opportunity to address the systemic deficits that hold this country back.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 22/09/2025

Candid exchange with President Irena Hadžiabdić. Under her leadership, the Central Election Commission has been a pillar of BiH’s constitutional order. State institutions are the place to overcome this impasse and need to be respected.

041 4

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 22/09/2025

I met chairwoman Borjana Kristo to discuss how to advance Bosnia and Herzegovina’s EU accession path: judicial reforms, adoption of the Reform Agenda still this month & appointment of a chief negotiator. The EU needs a counterpart in BiH to move forward with technical work. ➡️ link.europa.eu/9bJVfn

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 22/09/2025

Important discussion with 🇧🇦 Presidency, represented by Denis Bećirović. I expressed support for BiH’s reform path and my firm belief in BiH’s EU future. 🇧🇦 has shown it can advance when all political forces work towards EU integration. It is time to come together again.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 21/09/2025

Happy Independence Day, Armenia! I just concluded my first official visit at a time when 🇪🇺🇦🇲 ties are stronger than ever. I look forward to continuing our cooperation to strengthen 🇦🇲’s socio-economic resilience & to foster regional stability through new connectivity links.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 21/09/2025

🇪🇺 and 🇦🇲 have never been as close as now. Met Prime Minister Pashinyan in Yerevan to advance our partnership priorities. I announced the second payment of €202 million under the Resilience and Growth Plan and launched a new High-Level Policy Dialogue with Deputy Prime Minister Grigoryan.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 21/09/2025

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 21/09/2025

Active discussion with 🇦🇿 Minister of Economy Jabbarov. Peace in the region opens up opportunities for markets, trade and investments. To seize them, we agreed to establish a High Level Economic Working Group. We’ll continue to strengthen our partnership.

Marta Kos @martakos.ec.europa.eu · 15/09/2025

Good exchange with @ec.europa.eu colleagues on 🇪🇺-supported reconciliation efforts in Ireland & Northern Ireland. Important to draw on lessons learnt & apply best practices to candidate countries. Good neighbourly relations are key for a successful #EUEnlargement process.
