Arseniy Yatseniuk, Chairman of The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, congratulated his compatriots on the Day of Europe
"Today Ukraine celebrates the Day of Europe. The values taken as a principle of Ukrainian State are similar to European. We have surmounted a lot of difficulties concerning the dialogue with the EU, but the most difficult moments are still in the future. We hope that a new extended treaty between Ukraine and the EU will facilitate full-fledged integration of Ukraine with the European Union. We have already eliminated mental, psychological and lingual borders, only visa borders are left. I call on the European Union for pragmatism and dynamism, and Ukraine is sure to provide it", - states the address.
