On 26 September the European Parliament’s Committee on civil liberties supported granting Ukraine a visa-free regime. Now a word for deputies of the European Parliament.
On 18 November, during a telephone conversation with Petro Poroshenko, the President of the European Council Donald Tusk expressed hopethat the countries – members of EU will soon agree on a mechanism to suspend visa-free regimes that will pave the way for the final abolition of visas for Ukrainians.
