Ukraine's EU ambassador: Ukraine-EU Summit to take place under any conditions
Ukraine's envoy to the European Union Kostiantyn Yeliseyev has said that the planned EU-Ukraine summit will take place under any circumstances, and its date will be announced soon, Kyiv Post reported.
"The Ukraine-EU Summit will take place under any circumstances. The date of the meeting will be announced in the coming days," Yeliseyev told Interfax-Ukraine, while commenting on recent media reports about the alleged unwillingness of the EU to hold the summit.
Earlier, Maja Kocijancic, spokesperson to High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Vice-President of the Commission, Catherine Ashton, said that the summit was most likely to be scheduled for the beginning of 2013.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said that the Ukraine-EU summit would take place after a new Ukrainian parliament was formed. The ministry said this was the position of the European side, which foresees that "they want to hold the summit when they know who they are dealing with and who is the second side of the conversation."
