00:00The EU Council has agreed to open two more accession clusters with Ukraine after Hungary
00:05lifted its veto.
00:07That brings the number of open clusters to four out of six.
00:11The decision follows a deal on rights for Ukraine's ethnic Hungarian minority, a long-standing

00:27this week.

00:46school activities, and the provision of translated questions in some external exams.
