Poroshenko: Visa-free regime with EU is result of reforms conducted in Ukraine

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko is sure that granting Ukraine the visa-free regime with the European Union is the result of reforms carried out in the country.

The President said this at the opening of a new school in the village of Pisochyn in Kharkiv region on Friday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"A few months ago, on June 11, the visa-free regime came into effect after the extremely important reforms had been conducted in Ukraine. The Visa Liberalization Action Plan included 144 items. Ukraine perfectly well met all the necessary requirements," the President stressed.

Now Ukrainians can cross the EU borders having only a biometric passport for travelling abroad.

The visa-free regime with the European Union for the Ukrainian citizens entered into force overnight into June 11, 2017.
