Marta Kos, a Slovenian candidate for the EU enlargement portfolio, is set to take over from Hungarian Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi. Her appointment comes with significant challenges, particularly regarding the EU's enlargement strategy and Ukraine's accession plans. Kos has a controversial past, including allegations of connections to the former Yugoslav secret police and aggressive behavior towards subordinates. Despite her denials, she aims to clarify her past. Kos emphasized that EU membership requirements remain unchanged and expressed optimism about concluding accession talks with Montenegro and Albania by 2026 and 2027, respectively. However, she avoided clear answers regarding cooperation with right-wing representatives in the European Parliament. Teljes cikk (Magyarnemzet)
