KIEV, Nov. 8 – The Embassy of Poland will open an additional 14 centers in Ukraine to process visa applications, Polish Ambassador to Ukraine Henryk Litwin said.

"The opening of the visa centers is a step connected with our policy aimed at the liberalization of the visa regime," he said.

"We would like to facilitate this difficult procedure – the visa problem – for Ukrainians," he added.

According to Litwin, in 2010, 55% of all Schengen Visas issued by Poland were received by Ukrainians. Over the first 10 months of the current year the Polish Embassy issued the same number of visas as in the whole of 2010.
