"A Ukrainian law has been passed guaranteeing the rights of national minorities without questioning the status of the Ukrainian language," a press release from parliament, the Rada, said, according to AFP.
The change in the law means that Hungary - which is concerned about the rights of a Hungarian-speaking minority in western Ukraine - now accepts that two additional so-called negotiation clusters can be opened in Ukraine's discussions on EU membership.
The clusters will be opened on Tuesday in Luxembourg, alongside the same cluster for Moldova.
"I want to thank everyone on both sides, Hungarians and Ukrainians, experts and politicians, who made this possible," Hungarian Foreign Minister Anita Orbán says.
