What

This policy talk will inter alia touch on the following elements:

• The decision of the European Council to open accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova and grant EU candidate status to Georgia, while also reaffirming its commitment to the EU membership perspective of the Western Balkan states and calling for an acceleration of their accession process. 
• The EU elections in mid-2024, which will largely determine the place that migration will occupy in the next strategic agenda 2024-2029, to be adopted by the European Council in June 2024.
• The EU Pact on Asylum and Migration, its future role and prospects, as well as remaining stumbling blocks, both in terms of internal cohesion and relations with partner countries.  

The Policy Talk will further touch on the displacement of Ukrainians two years into Russia’s war of aggression, recent attempts of EU Member States to externalise asylum procedures and the need to boost legal migration channels to address ever-increasing labour shortages.
