EU and Belarus sign visa agreement
By EUobserver
The EU and Belarus signed a visa-facilitation agreement on Wednesday that will make it easier for Belarusian citizens to receive short-term visas to travel to the European Union. "These agreements will improve the mobility of our citizens and help build closer links between the EU and Belarus," said EU commissioner for home affairs, Ylva Johansson. The deal is expected to enter into force in June 2020.
