EU Foreign Ministers Delay Ukraine Decision

(Brussels) – The EU has postponed any decision on a planned trade deal with Ukraine, foreign ministers from the 28-member bloc said on Monday. Ministers had planned to decide today whether to ink a deal with Kyiv on a so-called ‘Association Agreement’ at an EU summit in Vilnius, Lithuania this month. Two EU envoys to Ukraine, former Polish president and Irish politician Pat Cox, have said a sitting of the country’s parliament tomorrow will be the last chance to vote on a law that would release jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko.
