KIEV, July 13 – President Petro Poroshenko praised Ukrainian and European foreign services for smooth rollout of the visa-free travel for Ukrainians last month with less than 1% of applicants rejected.

"The number of rejections only due to some technical issues is very low, much lower than 1%. That means that Ukraine and the European Union had prepared themselves very well to June 11, when the visa-free travel was launched," Poroshenko said at a joint press conference with EU Council President Donald Tusk and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, when answering a question from an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent.
