Back from a conference in Prague - lovely city!
Apparently, the June 22 meeting on visa-free travel in the EU for Turks went well. Hürriyet Daily News:
According to Bağış, visa exemptions for Turkish citizens traveling to the European Unionwill take effect in around three to four years.
On June 22, the EU minister held meetings with European Commissioner for Home Affairs Cecilia Malmström, European Commissioner for Enlargement Stefan Füle and EUterm president Denmark’s minister of European cooperation, Nicolai Wammen, in Brussels.
“A new process is beginning with the EU and our aim is to facilitate visa-free travel to the EU for our 75 million citizens,” Bağış said at the June 22’s meeting.POLITICS - Turkey has passed visa threshold: Bağış
