You're reading: Yatsenyuk fears migrant crisis may discourage EU states from quick introduction of visa free travel for Ukrainians

Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk has said that Ukraine must quickly finish all technical procedures required to obtaining visa-free travel with European Union states as the ongoing migrant crisis doesn't inspire confidence that Ukraine will enjoy the unanimous support of all EU member states on the issue.

“Our common task with us is to pass all the laws, to complete all technical procedures so no one has a chance to blame us in failing to fulfill this or that technical procedure,” Yatsenyuk said at the Verkhovna Rada on Oct. 8 before lawmakers were to consider bills on facilitating the introduction of visa free travel with the EU.
