The final decision on the introduction of a visa-free regime with the European Union for Ukrainians will be taken in October, First Deputy Verkhovna Rada Chairman Iryna Herashchenko has written on her Facebook page.
"Concerning a visa regime: everything takes place in line with the procedure established in the EU. According to the procedure, deputies have the right to submit their proposals and amendments to a decision, the European Parliament’s committee [will hold] the next hearings in two weeks. And only then, in October, in the session hall of the European Parliament there will be hearings and the final decision on a visa-free regime,” Herashchenko wrote.
As Ukrinform earlier reported, the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs voted in favor of recommending that visa requirements for Ukrainian citizens traveling to the EU be lifted.
