"It is very important that our countries fulfill their commitments, their program of cooperation with our EU partners, because there was an agreement that the work will be carried out and the launch will take place in 2018. One check of passports instead of two, one common customs care, one common base. And for ordinary people, this is an element of protection of their rights, freedoms, security, and at the same time it is an extremely effective measure to combat smuggling and corruption, "said Petro Poroshenko.
