Oleg Spoiboyan, press-secretary of the State Border Service, said this on "112 Ukraine".
"51 people - this is a small percentage of the total number of Ukrainians who have used the visa, it's less than 0.05%," said Slobodyan. The reasons for the refusal to cross the border were the exceeding of the allowable time of stay in the EU countries during previous visits or the inability to confirm the purpose of their trip.
Already, 20,852 Ukrainians have used the right to enter the EU for a visa without the biometric passport.
Recall, as reported URA-Inform, came into force visa-free regime of Ukraine with the EU.
