Ukraine supports Pro vote events ahead of Netherlands association referendum

The last three weeks ahead of the referendum in the Netherlands on the Ukraine-EU Association agreement can be used to promote a Pro vote by the Dutch, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry's Ambassador-at-Large Dmytro Kuleba has said.

"At the moment, opponents [of the agreement] are in the majority, but most of our activities and those of our friends in the Netherlands are planned for the last three weeks of the campaign, which we believe and hope will be a turning point," Kuleba said.

Kuebla's remarks are in a video clip of students from the National Aviation University addressing students and residents of the Netherlands.

Ukraine will hold a Business Forum, Days of Ukrainian Cinema, and a number of other events in the Netherlands. "Our opponents in the Netherlands, as well as our opponents in Russia, are watching our activities. The details of the work done will be provided after April 6," the diplomat said.

The Dutch parliament ratified the Association agreement between Ukraine and the EU on July 7, 2015.

The referendum in the Netherlands will be held on April 6. It is of a consultative nature.
