Poroshenko says Ukraine will seek to deepen visa-free travel - signing Schengen zone association
President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has announced his intention to deepen the liberalization of visa-free regime with the European Union by signing an association with the Schengen zone.
"We will do everything to make Ukraine back to Europe faster and better, and therefore we proposed another format of our relations for the future - the signing of an association with the Schengen zone, that is, the deepening of visa-free travel," he said during his trip to Dnipro on Monday.
According to the president, another position is a reference point for the customs union with the EU, "so that there won't be any customs checks, and we will be able to create a single customs space with the European Union."
"And I am extremely pleased that it is precisely these ideas that I voiced at the Ukraine-EU summit that have now found their full reflection in the resolution of the European Parliament," Poroshenko said.
