The visa dialogue and visa liberalization between Ukraine and the EU ‒influence on the migration from Ukraine to Slovakia

Abstract

The visa dialogue and visa liberalization between Ukraine and the European Union are the result of European policies promoting partnership and neighborhood cooperation. It is also a consequence of political changes in Ukraine, especially after 2014. Pro-European and pro-Atlantic overnments in Ukraine have had and are interested in implementing reforms, adapting legislation, regulations and standards to European Community law and deepening economic and political cooperation. The result of these processes are benefits not only for cooperating entities, but also for ordinary citizens. We see the results of these policies in Slovak Republic in the presentation of data on migrants from Ukraine and the migration of Ukrainians to Slovakia.
