Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin hopes the EU within a month will adopt a special mechanism of response to migration risks that may arise in connection with the introduction of a visa-free regime.

“The only issue is that now the European Parliament together with the European Council should develop a mechanism for responding to migration risks. This debate is now going on, mostly not in terms of essence but the distribution of powers. We hope this mechanism will be agreed during this month,” Klimkin told journalists in Kyiv.

The minister said Ukraine had fulfilled all the necessary criteria for a visa-free regime.
