EC report on reforms in Ukraine expected to be positive

The European Commission will present a report on December 15 with a positive assessment of reforms in Ukraine and Georgia, and thus will give the "green light" to abolish visas for citizens of both states. It is reported by the German newspaper "Die Welt", referring to diplomatic sources in Brussels. According to them, for Ukraine and Georgia's entry into the EU without visas will be operational from the middle of next year. However, sources emphasize that Ukraine will need to improve the performance before the spring in some areas, particularly in combating corruption.
