Klimkin expects visa-free regime between Ukraine and EU before year end

During the roundtable talk in Kyiv on Friday Klimkin said that at present both the European Parliament and the EU authorities discuss the time frame and the way the visa-free regime will be adopted. "First, the report on Ukraine will be prepared, and we are working to accelerate its preparation. At the same time the European countries are working on a mechanism for "extra confidence" to this regime in the event of migration risks. I hope that corresponding decisions will be taken in the near future, and this year the visa-free regime will become a reality," Klimkin said. The Foreign Minister noted that the EU considers every country that has fulfilled the criteria "should not be seen as part of policy packages but within the frames of what has been done." "The European Commission has confirmed the implementation of all the criteria by Ukraine," the foreign minister said.
