"Ukraine, from its side, has fulfilled all the requirements, so the European Union has to keep its promise. If the EU promised to grant a visa-free regime to Ukraine and Georgia, and all the technical requirements were observed, the visa-free regime has to be granted to these countries as soon as possible. This is our position and I will raise the question on the next EU Foreign Affairs Council," she said at a press conference in Tallinn.
On Thursday, Kaljurand discussed the issue with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin who arrived in Estonia with an official visit.
In April, the Commission made a proposal to the European Council and the European Parliament to add Ukraine to the list of countries the citizens of which could travel to the Schengen Area without visas. No decisions on the issue have been made by any of the EU bodies so far.
