As of the last week, while sharing an interview with Ukrainian TV channels, the Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko
urged the MPs to consolidate efforts and adopt the draft laws required for the implementation of technical conditions of the Plan of Actions for the provision of the visa-free regime with the EU for Ukrainian citizens, President Petro Poroshenko Press Office reports.
As to the report, Poroshenko
reminded that the Parliament had to consider 13 draft laws (so far only 4 of them were adopted).
«There will be no visa-free regime, unless they are adopted. The final term is Nov 9,» the President said.
«Everyone should do their job. Unless we unite and demonstrate efficiency today, we will have nobody to blame except ourselves,» Poroshenko said.
As to the report, the President reminded that one of the key conditions for the visa-free regime was the abolition of parliamentary and judicial immunity. This issue hadn’t been considered yet.
At the same time, he noted that as Head of State, he had done everything necessary. «I was responsible for ensuring that all 28 EU member-states will make a political decision and guarantee visa-free regime for Ukraine in case of fulfilling technical conditions,» he said.
As to Poroshenko, Ukraine had proved that even in war conditions, it didn’t pose a threat of refugees’ inflow in Europe, for it had a responsible attitude to its IDPs.
Besides, Poroshenko also told that he would have a phone conversation with President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker on the visa-free regime soon.
