No EU announcement on granting visa-free regime to Ukraine, Georgia starting from 2017
Representative of Ukraine in the European Union Mykola Tochytsky has refuted information on granting a visa-free regime with the EU countries to Ukraine and Georgia from January 1, 2017, Yevropeiska Pravda (European Truth) online edition has reported.
"I have not seen a single report of the European Council yet. The Council did not have any discussion on visa-free regime as well. I didn’t also hear such position from the European diplomats of member-states," he told reporters in Kyiv.
"There is a draft report to the European Parliament already, and there is no such position as well," Tochytsky said.
He also noted that he sees no motive to link a visa-free regime to the 2017 year.
“EU diplomats still expect a final decision in EU Council on visa liberation for Georgia and Ukraine in October with visa free travel on January 1, 2017,” some media reported the information on Tuesday with reference to the Twitter message wrote by ‘Radio Liberty’ Brussels correspondent Rikard Jozwiak.
