Parubiy met with Brok at the Jean Monnet Conference, the Ukrainian parliament’s press service reported.
“Andriy Parubiy said that the anniversary the Euromaidan events on November 21, would be an important symbolic date for the completion of the liberalization of the visa regime, because it was under the European integration banner that Ukrainians went out on Maidan. Elmar Brok explained that the delay in the completion of the liberalization of the visa regime was related to internal institutional problems of the European Union and had nothing to do with issues of liberalization of the visa regime per se”, the report says.
