Stepan Barna: Visa-free regime is a token of the fact that Ukraine is part of a United Europe
All Ukrainians the opportunities of visa-free border crossings with the countries of Europe means 28 countries recognize the effectiveness of the fundamental reforms implemented by Ukraine. Besides, for such a short journey even in Europe to conduct such reforms would be quite difficult. This draws the attention of the Chairman of the Ternopil regional state administration Stepan Barna. He cites in confirmation of the words of the former Secretary General of NATO, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who said that "during the previous three years, the Ukrainian leadership began more reforms than in the previous 23 years". "If you compare how Ukraine was before and what has become now – this is definite progress," said Rasmussen, who is President of Ukraine. Stepan Barna emphasizes that the process of obtaining Betws provided for the execution of about 150 specific conditions, each of which brought its own benefits to our country. "Yes, it was not easy, but Ukraine did it. The leadership of the country had the political will to promised became a reality. The President played a key coordinating role in bringing together diplomats, other state authorities and civil society in the process of getting Ukraine visa-free regime with the EU. Among the useful innovations that, in fact, have opened Ukraine's path to the European community, such as: introduction of electronic Declaration, the founding of a new anti-corruption bodies. Our youngest state, which many previous years had been under the yoke of economic shadows, was able to make a real breakthrough, an unprecedented opening your database. Europe ate it up, and in response has opened for us" - said Stepan Barna. However, he draws attention to the fact that the granting Ukraine visa-free regime has a deep symbolic meaning - a recognition of the fact that Ukraine belongs to a common European space, in contrast to the Russian Federation. "The Ukrainians have long identificeret themselves with Europe, while not losing their national identity. Progressive thinking of our citizens finds affinity with the fundamental democratic values of the civilized world. What was for us a visa-free regime now? Sort it is a clear marker that Ukraine – part of United Europe", - said Stepan Barna. No wonder the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko receiving besso called "final divorce with Russia." "Ukraine finalized its separation from the Russian Empire. So, philosophically, we perceive it to be. This is the output with more than 300-year history, which began with the Pereyaslav Rada, Ukraine's coming home," said the Head of state. It should be noted that obtaining btvs is the implementation of Petro Poroshenko on his election pledges and complete the ongoing work on a post of the Minister of foreign Affairs of Ukraine. (foreign Minister he became in 2009 – ed.) Chairman of the Ternopil regional state administration is sure that the Ukrainian citizens will soon be able to appreciate the fullness of the correctness and success of a strategic choice made by Ukraine. "Especially our students, researchers and small entrepreneurs. Having a biometric passport they do not need to stand in embarrassing queues to pay extra 70 euros to travel abroad. Of course, this difficult journey becomes our success," adds Stepan Barna. This was reported in the Ternopil regional state administrationÏåðåâåäåíî ñåðâèñîì "ßíäåêñ.Ïåðåâîä÷èê": translate.yandex.ru.
