We have reached an understanding with Armenia on the scope of our future relationship, the European Council President Donald Tusk stated at the press-conference in follow-up of the 4th Eastern Partnership Summit held in Riga.
“And we have received Azerbaijan's suggestions regarding the renewal of the contractual basis for its relations with the EU,” Tusk continued.
He confirmed EU’s intention to make energy and transport cooperation distinct priorities for the coming years.
“With regard to mobility issues, we welcome the positive impact the visa-free regime with Moldova has had on travel […]. Progress is also being made with Armenia and Belarus. With regard to Georgia and Ukraine, which are the closest in line to achieve the objective of visa-free travel, President Juncker and myself are determined to be as ambitious as possible in terms of seeing this process to a successful finalisation. But it is of course also up to Georgia and Ukraine to set the pace when it comes to fulfilling the necessary steps,” Tusk said.
