EP president reaffirms Poroshenko Brexit not to affect EU institution's readiness to introduce visa-free regime for Ukrainians

European Parliament President Martin Schulz has reaffirmed Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko during the talks in Brussels that the Brexit will have no impact on the readiness of the European Parliament to sanction the introduction of a visa-free regime for Ukrainian nationals, the Ukrainian presidential press service said.

"Martin Schulz has reaffirmed that the internal procedures related to the exit of the United Kingdom from the EU will not affect the readiness of the European Parliament regarding the visa-free regime for citizens of Ukraine," it said.

The parties exchanged views on the results of the EU referendum recently held in Britain, and its possible aftermath regarding further development of the Ukraine-EU relations, the press service said in a release.

Poroshenko expressed hope that the current internal difficulties will not result in the European Union concentrating solely on problems of its own, but will become instead an incentive to search for new successful European integration projects, one of which could be Ukraine, according to the press service.
