Head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine Hugues Mingarelli hopes a decision on granting a visa free regime with the European Union to Ukraine will be adopted as soon as possible.

“So, this discussion between the European Parliament and the European Council has nothing to do with Ukraine. Once the decision on agreement of the suspension of visa free regime is reached between them, Ukraine gets the visa free regime. I can not tell you when this happen. I hope that it will be in the near future,” Mingarelli said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

Mingarelli said that the European Commission is considering the liberalization of the visa regime with Ukraine in parallel with the issue of the procedure of responding to the migration risks.
