FM: Ukraine Does Not Have to Meet All Conditions to Sign EU Trade Agreement

Brussels, 18 November - Slovenia will not insist that Ukraine meet all conditions of the EU before signing the planned trade agreement with the bloc, Foreign Minister Karl Erjavec said at the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels on Monday. He worries that a deferral of the signing planned for later this month would be a "missed historic opportunity".
