The European Union foreign policy chief said Friday that the bloc’s future leaders will need to decide on Türkiye’s application to become a member, as the current stalemate is no longer tenable.
“EU Council leaders will have to say what kind of relationship we want to have (with Türkiye),” Josep Borrell said at a conference on European affairs in Florence that was organized by the European University Institute.
He said that Türkiye feels that the bloc is no longer interested in having it as a member after years in which the accession process has stalled.
“That’s what they believe,” he said. “And they are looking for a decision on our side.”
“We cannot continue … like this, because more and more, Türkiye is taking another direction not converging with our values,” he said.
