More Confusion Around Screening Process

As such, there are no expectations that there will be any developments on the issue prior to October 3rd as the negotiations will have started. However, Foreign Ministry diplomats have positively responded to the proposal saying, " The screening process will start before October 3rd and finish quickly." It is expected that the final determination on when Turkey’s screening process will begin will be laid out in the framework due in March. Negotiations will be held between representatives of the EU members in Brussels and Turkey’s head negotiator. Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul has been appointed as the official president of the negotiation delegation.
