Kuchinsky very aptly said during our last meeting in Truskavets, Poland with Germany on the eve of a visa-free regime had 5-6 times more transitions than is today Ukraine with the EU. So we worked out a very specific plan that in 2018 we were able to open only Poland 4 new crossings: two in Lviv, one in Volyn and Transcarpathia”, – said the speaker of the Parliament.
