The source said that this topic is expected to be discussed by the heads of EU institutions with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who started a two-day state visit to Belgium Oct.5.
Ankara filed the application for EU membership in 1987, but negotiations on accession to the union started only in 2005.
Since then, the parties agreed on 14 technical points out of 35 that Ankara must fulfill in order to achieve the standards required for EU membership. Another 17 points remain blocked, while negotiations on 4 points continue.
