President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy has said that all leaders of the EU member states realize that what happens with Ukraine is a matter of common concern.
"Two weeks from now, at a summit in Vilnius, we will decide whether the EU can sign an Association Agreement with Ukraine. Whereas five years ago, if I may caricature, this relationship was seen as something of interest for Poland, today all leaders – from Spain to the Netherlands or Austria – clearly realize that what happens with Ukraine is a matter of common concern," President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy said in a speech on occasion of the anniversary of the fall of the Wall in Berlin.
He said awareness has grown in the past few years that what happens on the other side of the border is not just a matter of concern for the EU neighbor, but for the whole of the EU.
He also said that the EU was still unable to tell where the union's final borders would lie.
