European Parliament not to approve visa-free regime for Ukraine in October

This is evidenced by the European Parliament’s draft agenda of the forthcoming session published on its website. In addition, the document does not contain the question of approving liberalization of visas for Georgia or consideration of the so-called suspension mechanism for visa-free travel, approval of which is known to be the main obstacle for the scrapping of visas for travel to EU countries for Ukraine and Georgia. As reported, in September the President of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, expressed his hopes of putting the issue of visa-free regime for Ukraine on the agenda of the European Parliament in October which, however, did not take place.
