Summary/Abstract: The Riga summit will bring decisions on visa liberalisation for Georgia, Ukraine and Belarus. A positive outcome will depend not only on the fulfilment of technical criteria, but also on the development of the situation in Donbas. The success of this process will depend also on the EU, which should facilitate further circular migration as well as to improve border infrastructure and the application of consular procedures.
