"Reynders confirmed that Ukraine had fulfilled all of its obligations under the Visa Liberalization Action Plan, and Belgium was ready to support a positive decision on Ukraine. This will happen as soon as the issue of a visa waiver suspension mechanism will be resolved in a trialogue between the European institutions," the press service said.
During a meeting with Reynders, which took place in the framework of Klympush-Tsintsadze's working visit to Brussels, she expressed her gratitude to the Belgian side for the continued support of Ukraine, its territorial integrity and sovereignty. She also informed the Belgian officials about the situation in Ukraine, the changes as a result of large-scale reform, primarily in the areas of judiciary, fighting against corruption, and decentralization of power.
