Ukraine Has Very Good Chance to Sign EU Association - U.S. Ambassador

Ukraine Has Very Good Chance to Sign EU Association - U.S. Ambassador - Press Release - Digital Journal:

"The American Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey R. Pyatt reached such conclusion based on the opinions of the Ukrainian authorities and European colleagues, he told in an interview to radiosvoboda.org. Pyatt also expressed his belief that Europe held the door open for Ukraine. He hopes that Ukraine would go through that door.

Pyatt was impressed by the seriousness Ukrainian authorities paid to the signing of Association Agreement (AA), focusing on the steps toward meeting the European standards. Speaking of conditions, necessary for the November signing of the AA between the EU and Ukraine, American official highlighted the need for the Ukrainian authorities to cooperate with the European community in order to move forward.

The most important step Ukraine could make is take into account the EU's concern regarding the issue of selective justice. Pyatt emphasized that in case of selective justice the U.S. paid attention to the principle, not any particular person. This principle "is very important to the USA as it takes us back to the question of Ukrainian democracy, it is the ground for our strategic cooperation," said Pyatt."
