EU states have yet to reach a full agreement on the membership aspirations of their eastern neighbors and are concerned about the consequences of the already implemented visa liberalization, according to a leaked document seen by RFE/RL.
RFE/RL: EU members cool on Eastern Partnership aspirations, concerned about visa liberalization
People look at the European Union flag outside the city hall in Lviv, Ukraine. Ukraine on Nov. 21 abandoned its years-long drive to sign a landmark political
and free trade pact with the EU. The signing had been set to take place at the Nov. 28-29 Eastern Partnership Summit in Vilnius, Lithuania. The decision to
scrap the association agreement came on the same day that parliament failed to pass two out of three laws required by the EU, including the release of
imprisoned ex-Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. (AFP)
