New opportunities open up for Eastern partners
President Dalia Grybauskaitė, currently attending a European Council meeting in Brussels, briefed the European leaders on preparedness for the Vilnius Summit to be held this coming November. The heads of state and government of the EU member states took stock of the progress in European integration made by the EU's Eastern partners and discussed the homework these countries must do for an EU Association Agreement to be successfully signed with Ukraine and initialed with Moldova and Georgia at the Vilnius Summit.
According to the President, one of the key tasks for Ukraine who is seeking to sign an EU Association Agreement in Vilnius is to solve the selective justice problem and Yulia Tymoshenko question. Ukraine also needs to conduct election and prosecution reforms and adopt the necessary amendments to laws pertaining to justice, judiciary and fighting corruption, as well as improve business environment.
The summit will also seek progress in the EU visa facilitation for Eastern partners.
