As UNIAN noted earlier, the report advocating support for the initiative of the European Commission to grant Ukraine a visa-free regime will be presented at the European Parliament on September 5.
On April 20, the European Commission had invited both the European Parliament and the EU Council to lift the visa regime for Ukrainian citizens. This proposal was the result of a positive assessment, made last December, of Ukraine’s steps under the framework of the Visa Liberalization Action Plan.
