Ukraine may get visa-free regime with the EU until the end of 2016. Only the political procedure is left.
President of Lithuania Dalia Grybauskaite said this in an interview with Ukrainian ICTV channel on January 17.
"Only the political procedure – approval by the Council of the European Union – has been left. I think Ukraine is most likely to be granted the EU visa-free regime during this year, late in 2016 or early in 2017," she said.
According to her, Ukraine did a great job for two years to get prepared for liberalization.
The Lithuanian President congratulated Ukraine on "a very positive report by the European Commission saying that 'Ukraine is ready'."
