According to the last European Commission's Progress Report, Turkey must continue democratic reforms after the constitutional referendum and implement the Additional Protocol to the Association Agreement to keep its accession process on track. However, the prospects to meet the EU's expectations are tiny because of the political polarisation in Turkey, no progress in talks on the unification of Cyprus and politicisation of the Turkish issue in some EU states. Nevertheless, the membership talks with Turkey will continue, although their pace will be even slower than nowadays.
