KIEV (Sputnik) — Poroshenko revealed that his negotiations with Duda focused on prospects of broader bilateral cooperation and called for more investment in the Ukrainian economy.
"We discussed further steps to support Ukraine's bid for visa liberalization with the European Union in the coming weeks. Our aspirations were met with full support," Poroshenko told journalists at the joint press conference with his Polish counterpart.
In June 2014, Kiev and Brussels signed association agreement opening the way for Ukraine's integration into the bloc. In order to liberalize the visa regime, Kiev is required to tighten anti-corruption policy, reform border controls and issue biometric ID-cards to its citizens. Ukrainian citizens are expected to be granted an EU visa waiver before the end of 2016.
