Foreign Ministry changes its mind: initialing of Agreement in December is non-essential

Ukraine did not have a principal intention to initial an Agreement on Association with the EU at the Summit Ukraine-EU that is scheduled for December 19.

According to an UNIAN correspondent, deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin  said this to journalists on November 23.

He noted that an initialing will become possible when a technical work on the text of the agreement will be finished.
