Poroshenko says refugee crisis in Europe should not influence visa liberalization for Ukraine

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban agree that the refugee crisis in European Union countries should not have any impact on the introduction of the visa-free regime for Ukraine.

"Poroshenko and Orban have agreed that the current refugee crisis in the EU should not influence the visa-free regime for Ukraine," Ukrainian presidential press secretary Sviatoslav Tseholko said on Twitter on March 17.

As was reported earlier, Poroshenko and Orban earlier discussed the extension of anti-Russian sanctions.

Poroshenko is on a two-day visit to Brussels, where he has been meeting with European officials. He is also scheduled to attend a summit of the European People's Party.
