On the other hand, only 38% of Ukrainians consider themselves Europeans. It is just 3% more than in 2013. Only 10% of the respondents from the western regions, and 7% from the eastern part of Ukraine are going to get a biometric passport. These poll results were presented by Iryna Bekeshkina, Director of the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation, during a press briefing at the Ukrainian Crisis Media Center. A nationwide survey on the attitude of the population to the visa-free regime was held by the Democratic Initiatives Foundation and the Razumkov Center on June 9-13.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The survey results show significant regional and age differences among the population regarding visa-free travel. &#8220;The closer to the West, the higher the percentage of people who consider visa-free regime to be important&#8221;, &#8211; said Ms. Irina. In the west, 11% of the respondents have biometric passports. In the east &#8211; only 2.5%. The number of biometric passports is higher among younger respondents. Iryna Bekeshkina emphasized that a significant part of the population does not intend to have any foreign passports at all. The number of people who received a regular passport grew only by 4% compared to 2013. &#8220;For me it is an indicator that Ukraine is still far from becoming a European country&#8221;, &#8211; said director of the Democratic Initiatives Foundation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">60% of the respondents said that in order for them to consider themselves Europeans they needed a certain level of material well-being. &#8220;There are neither age nor regional differences here&#8221;, &#8211; Mrs. Iryna said. Hlib Vyshlinskyi, Executive Director of the Centre for Economic Strategy, said that visa-free regime should improve the overall economic situation in the country. &#8220;This will facilitate all forms of economic cooperation and encourage new investments in the country,&#8221; he stressed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Aliona Hetmanchuk, Director of the Institute of World Policy, said that according to the poll, 36% of Ukrainians will consider themselves Europeans when the rule of law is established in the country. Serhii Sydorenko, editor-in-chief of the Internet-edition &#8220;Europeiska Pravda&#8221;, noted that the possibility of suspension of visa-free regime will ensure the further implementation of reforms, in particular judicial and anti-corruption ones. &#8220;I do not even imagine theoretically a possibility that Poroshenko, or other government leaders, by their actions in the country could cause cancellation of visa-free regime. This would be a political suicide for them. Therefore, I do not even assume that our leaders will go for such a rollback of reforms, which will activate the reverse of the visa-free regime &#8220;, &#8211; said Serhii Sydorenko.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A total of 14% got themselves familiar with the rights of entry and stay in the Schengen area. Aliona Hetmanchuk noted that it is necessary to radically change the state communication strategy. &#8220;Instead of focusing on what are the requirements of the EU, we need to start talking about what the agreement with the EU gives us,&#8221; Mrs. Hetmanchuk underlined.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;It is necessary to screen the readiness of the country on the subject of having the right to be a candidate for EU membership&#8221;, &#8211; said Aliona Hetmanchuk. She stressed that this would help to establish a constructive dialogue with European countries, one which would not rise negative emotions regarding Ukraine&#8217;s entrance into the EU.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WATCH IN ENGLISH Over a third of Ukrainians emphasize the importance of visa-free regime for the population of the country.
