European Commission waiting for all visa-free travel criteria to be performed by Ukraine – Commissioner

European Commissioner for Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship Dimitris Avramopoulos has said Ukraine woks under all criteria needed to fulfill requirements for the introduction of visa-free travel with Europe.

During a briefing in Brussels on Wednesday, the commissioner has said that the EU doesn't lose courage over including Ukraine into the list on visa liberalization within next few weeks.

The commissioner has said he sees a positive signal that the duties undertaken by Ukraine still are underpinned by the deeds.

According to the commissioner, some time is needed before all criteria are fulfilled as a part of a Ukraine-EU visa dialogue.
