«Наших соседей на Южном Кавказе необходимо как можно более активно включать в деятельность инициативы Восточного соседства, начать переговоры с Арменией и Азербайджаном по поводу упрощения визового режима и договоров о реадмиссии» , - сказал А.Ажубалис.

Как передает 1news.az cо ссылкой на Delfi, руководитель литовского МИДа отметил, что ЕС и Грузия должны приложить усилия, чтобы до конца 2011 года можно было начать переговоры по поводу заключения соглашения о свободной торговле.

Он также отметил, что необходимо оценить, как Грузия воплощает в жизнь вступившие в силу с 1-го марта договоренности по поводу упрощенного визового режима и договоров о реадмиссии, на основании чего в долгосрочной перспективе можно было бы строить планы по введению безвизового режима.

Литовский министр, являющийся также и председателем ОБСЕ, также представил результаты своего визита в страны Южного Кавказа.
