President Petro Poroshenko had a meeting with President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz in Brussels.

The parties shared views regarding the results of the UK referendum on the EU membership and their influence on the Ukraine-EU relations.

The Head of State expressed hope that current internal difficulties would not focus the EU’s attention solely on its own problems. He is hopeful they will become a stimulus for the search for new successful European integration projects. And Ukraine can become such a project.

Martin Schulz assured that the internal procedures related to the UK leaving the EU would not affect readiness of the European Parliament to introduce the visa-free regime for Ukrainian citizens.
