He said this on his Twitter page, commenting on the decision.

"This is a crucial moment for Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia and for the EU. It is also for peace and democracy on our shared continent. Today's Opinions are a key step towards fulfilling their European aspirations. The EU will support all reform efforts to make it a reality," Borrell wrote.
