Platform members welcomed progress made over the last six months in bilateral screening, including advances on Chapters 6, 28 and 31 and the completion of screening on foreign, security and defence policy.

Deputy Prime Minister Cristina Gherasimov said the first three clusters were covered in just 9 months thanks to joint efforts.
