The reporters mention that the charter text says that a country must be "European", but they don't think that it would necessarily be a deal breaker because it also doesn't define what "European" means. Does it mean strictly geographically, or does it mean it in a more abstract sense of alignment, culture, and politics? Of note, Morocco applied in the past and was deemed "too African" noting that their politics were not aligned with European sensibilities (paraphrasing).
I'd still put the odds low of it ever happening, but higher than I thought if you asked me just a few months ago.

Now that's something I could be on board with. EU passport, yes please!
