KIEV, June 12 – The European Union does not expect migration risks from Ukrainian citizens because of the introduction of the visa-free regime, head of the EU Delegation in Ukraine Hugues Mingarelli said.

"On the contrary, we hope that as many Ukrainians as possible will be able to visit the EU countries. Ukrainians do not pose a threat to EU countries, on the contrary they carry opportunities and expectations with them. Of course, citizens of Ukraine on their part should respect obligations and the rights that are provided by the visa-free regime," the ambassador told journalists on Monday, responding to a question about fears over the large influx of Ukrainians to the EU countries after the entry into force of the visa-free regime.
