According to the government’s press-service, Victor Yanukovych claimed at the meeting that the government is making a final effort to enter the organization.
“The government and the coalition have united the society and lawmakers on the idea of the WTO entry. WTO accession will provide Ukraine with the prospects to create a free trade zone with the European Union”, he said.
