Euro Commission considers abolishing visas for Eastern partners

Euro Commission is planning in the near future to abolish visas for citizens from some Eastern European states, Euro Commission said in response to European Parliament members Lena Kolarska-Bobinska and Pavel Pavel Zelevski’s request.

Lena Kolarska-Bobinska said EU member states and Eastern and Central European countries will, in the near future, have to elaborate a realistic and detailed plan for abolishing visa regime. “That would be in keeping with the idea of Eastern Partnership, and raise relationship with neighbors to a new level,” BELTA correspondent quotes EU parliamentarian as saying.
