EU-Georgia visa deal expected this week

Member states and MEPs will agree to grant visa-free travel to Georgians at a "trilogue" meeting, expected to take place on Wednesday, Slovak foreign minister Miroslav Lajcak said on Monday in Brussels. "We really see no obstacles" to clinching an agreement on the same day, he said. "They will get the visa-free regime soon," he said. A similar meeting on Ukraine is due in January.
