Experts and politicians discussed the situation on the EU Member States’ Visa Issuance Policies and Practices towards Ukrainian citizens, as well as progress in implementation of reforms required for obtaining a visa–free regime with the EU. Also the experts from Ukraine presented results of the independent monitoring of the EU Member States visa practices in Ukraine. The Civic assessments of the implementation of the first phase of the Action plan on visa liberalisation of EU to Ukraine were also discussed.
