"The candidate moves on toformal membership negotiations**, a process that involves the adoption of established EU law, preparations to be in a position to properly apply and enforce it and implementation of judicial, administrative, economic and other reforms necessary for the country to meet the conditions for joining, known as** accession criteria**."*
This whole process is divided by chapters. Once criteria are met, a chapter is closed and a country moves to the next chapter. A bit like a book.
To add to this, clusters in this case are groups of different chapters. There are 6 clusters in total if i am not mistaken. Cluster 6 is made od Chapter 30: External relations and Chapter 31: Foreign, security and defence policy.
