Ukraine is planning to announce about the transfer to the second phase of fulfillment of the action plan on liberalization of the visa regime with the EU during the Eastern Partnership Summit in Vilnius in November, deputy foreign minister Andriy Olefirenko said following a ceremonious unveiling of the memorable sign, dedicated to perpetuation of the joint Ukrainian-Lithuanian heritage - the Castle Place on the Castle Mountain (Zamkova Hora) in Kyiv, Ukrinform informed.
“I was in Brussels two days ago at a meeting of senior officials within the frames of the Eastern Partnership initiative and met with Commissioner Stefan Fule, who in particular confirmed that we have to make this very important, but small, step in order that we could transfer to the second phase and, at least, announce about this at the Eastern Partnership Summit in Vilnius,” Olefirov said.
