The Ukraine’s visa liberalization ten-year roadmap shall win big next week at the European Parliament by signing the final papers. ‘Our next steps are all aimed at boosting Europe in Ukraine,’ she added.

I.Herashchenko also underlined that this instrument will open the Schengen area and some more for Ukrainians in a month.
